Dynamic Modeling for Earth – Pointing Satellites to Control the Three – axis Attitude without the Attitude Information of One Axis
Various methods are presented to control the attitude of satellite due to lack of information of yaw axis attitude so far.
In this paper, a new method is used which is more general and is applicable to all types of satellites, with at least one controller. 
This method is not limited to YAW axis and can control the two other axes as well. One feature of this approach is the ability to be ...

متن کاملTwo-dimensional Calibration of a Sun Attitude Sensor
Attitude sensors are used in spacecrafts for measurement and control of its attitude to meet the mission goals. Sensors using the sun for attitude determination are very effective and often applied. The calibration of the sensor gives an important impetus to improve the quality. Calibration helps to reduce systematic errors of the measurement method, of tolerances of the used components due to ...
متن کاملA Simple Low Cost Digital Sun Sensor for Micro-satellites
A Digital Sun Sensor (DSS) has several advantages if compared to the analogue one. It achieves higher accuracy and avoids the problems with light being reflected from the Earth’s surface. The gradual degradation of the sensitivity of the elements due to radiation effects is not crucial for its proper functioning. The advances in CCD and recently in CMOS technology make possible to implement the...
متن کاملA Pinhole Sun Sensor for Balloon-borne Experiment Attitude Determination
We report on the design, calibration and in-flight performance of a sun sensor, which is used to determine the attitude of a balloon-borne telescope. The device uses a position-sensitive detector (PSD) in a pinhole camera. By determining the position of the image of the Sun on the PSD, the orientation of the sun sensor and the boresight of the telescope relative to the Sun can be determined. Th...
