متن کاملSmall Satellite Attitude Control Using Linear Moving Mass Actuators
The subject of this research is to study the use of internal moving masses as the primary means of attitude control for a small satellite platform. The goal of this research is to validate the dynamic model formulated in [1] which describes the under-actuated rotational dynamics of a 3U cubesat with two internal orthogonal linearly translating masses. Models have been developed to simulate angu...
