An Attitude Control System and Commissioning Results of the SNAP-1 Nanosatellite

SNAP-1 is a low-cost nanosatellite build by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL), it is amongst other objectives a technology demonstrator for 3-axis stabilisation and orbit control for a future constellation of small satellites during formation flying. The satellite uses a single miniature Ymomentum wheel, 3-axis magnetorquer rods and a single butane gas thruster to ensure a nominal nadirpo...

FPGA Hardware Nonlinear Control Design for Modular Nanosatellite Attitude Control System

CubeSat attitude control systems must be compact, fast, and accurate to achieve success in space missions with stringent control requirements. Nonlinear control strategies allow the creation of robust algorithms for orbit and attitude control, but can have higher processing requirements in operation. In addition, It is desirable to implement distribute components of a CubeSat control system acr...

Design of MEMS Based Attitude Determination and Control System for Nanosatellite

-One of the latest manifestations of miniaturization in space applications is the development of standardized nanosatellite. Recent achievements and future trends of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology have indicated that microtechnology is the critical technologies of future space programs. Enabling technologies for demanding applications will surely make use of MEMS based compo...

Real Time Fault Tolerant Nonlinear Attitude Control System for Nanosatellite Applications

This paper develops a fault tolerant attitude controller for next generation nanosatellites. The proposed fault tolerant attitude control algorithms in this study are based on first order and high order sliding mode control theory as well as fuzzy logic systems to achieve low cost and real time autonomy. A locally asymptotically stable adaptive fuzzy first order sliding mode controller is chose...
