Thrust Estimation

[TheElectricDream]

Currently, it is assumed that each thruster can provide a maximum thrust of 0.25 N. This is inaccurate, because the amount of thrust out of each thruster is also a function of which thrusters are being used.

Controls sub team is working on this

See Lugini and Romano's "A ballistic-pendulum test stand to characterize small cold-gas
thruster nozzles" for reference.

I have written code to accomplish this task for RED and it seems to be pretty decent - but it requires knowing the CG, mass, and inertia of the platforms at the time the data is collected. I will write an entry about it soon.
