The Drag-Free Satellite
A scientific earth satellite that is guided in a drag-free orbit by a shielded, free-falling proof mass has been proposed by a number of investigators. This paper examines the feasibility and some of the applications of this scheme. The control and guidance system is analyzed with respect to system performance and gas usage requirements. The principal trajectory errors that are due to vehicle g...
متن کاملAttitude Control for Magnetic Actuated Satellite
Absract Magnetic actuation utilizes the mechanic torque that is the result of interaction of the current in a coil with an external magnetic field. A main obstacle is, however, that torques can only be produced perpendicular to the magnetic field. This actuation principle has been a topic of research since earliest satellites were launched. Magnetic control has been applied for nutation damping...
متن کاملLocal orbital frame predictor for LEO drag-free satellite
This paper is concerned with on-board real-time position and rate prediction of the spacecraft centre-of-mass as input data to local orbital frame (LORF) determination for Low-Earth Orbit drag-free satellites. Study and simulation results are justified by Drag-Free and Attitude Control of the GOCE satellite (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer), the LORF being the instanta...
متن کاملAutonomous Attitude Determination and Control System for the Ørsted Satellite
The Ørsted satellite mission imposes comparatively high requirements on autonomy of the attitude control system. Cost requirements, on the other hand, impose simple hardware and cheap actuators in form of magnetorquer coils. These conflicting requirements are fulfilled through development of novel attitude and control algorithms and wide on-board autonomy. The entire control and attitude determ...
متن کاملAn efficient method to control the amplitude of the limit cycle in satellite attitude control system
In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...
