Maneuvering a spacecraft subject to rotational constraints is a nontrivial challenge. Several attitude guidance solutions are found in literature that use a range of approaches to provide guidance algorithms to safely reorient a spacecraft while ensuring that all constraints and requirements are satisfied. However, such algorithms are often problem specific, and/or not immediately comparable with one another as they have slightly different objectives. The purpose of this paper is to show how a range of constrained attitude guidance solutions can be compared using the open-source Basilisk Astrodynamics Simulation Framework. New Basilisk modules are introduced to allow users to easily set up a customizable simulation environment that can be used as a benchmarking tool to test the performances of different guidance algorithms. The simulation allows for guidance solutions to be implemented within Basilisk or read in from a file generated by an outside attitude path planner. Sample performance metrics are defined and implemented within a Basilisk module to illustrate this approach performing a numerical comparison between the different guidance strategies.
