Launch OnOrbitROS

All the functionalities of OnOrbitROS are launched simply by launching the project's launch file:

roslaunch <your_project_name> <your_launch_file>

As presented in other sections, from this file the following functionalities are loaded:

• Gazebo simulation parameters.
• Launch of the orbit and orbit publisher package.
• The world file (converting the .xacro to .world) and then loading with then the gazebo_ros launcher.
• Spacecraft / robot URDF loaded to the param server.
• World position of the spacecraft / robot model in the world.
• Loads of the ROS controllers.

When creating a new application, it is recommended to follow the same structure as the presented in the previously made applications to ensure all the functionalities are launched simply from one file.

Under Examples of Applications you will find the specific command used to launch each of the applications included.
