FIRST RELEASE: v0.12
The Reaction Wheels scenario demonstrates how to setup a closed-loop attitude pointing model actuated by a reaction wheel cluster. The pointing model used here is an inertial hold (de-tumble) and relies on realistic feedback from the cluster to modify and control its attitude using a navigation computer.

The Attitude Feedback RW Spacecraft inherits from the BskSpacecraftPlus class, and is configured using Blueprints. Information on how the spacecraft is configured can be found in the following document:
Attitude Feedback RW Spacecraft
A video tutorial on how to design a Nominal Editor level is shown in the Building Levels document. Follow this tutorial first before appending code to it for the Nadir pointing case. All code to build a simple level with some basic UI is shown in that document.
The Attitude Feedback RW Spacecraft takes in no required inputs when constructing the object from the class.
