Inertia-Free Spacecraft Attitude Control Using Reaction Wheels
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends the continuous inertia-free control law for spacecraft attitude tracking derived in prior work to the case of three axisymmetric reaction wheels. The wheels are assumed to be mounted in a known and linearly independent, but not necessarily orthogonal, configuration with an arbitrary and unknown orientation relative to the unknown spacecraft principal axes. Simulation results for slew and spin maneuvers are presented with torque and momentum saturation.

Design of an Adaptive-Neural Network Attitude Controller of a Satellite using Reaction Wheels
In this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. Then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control is designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. In order to eliminate the effect of these uncertainties, ...
متن کاملAdaptive Control of a Spin-Stabilized Spacecraft Using two Reaction Wheels and a 1DoF Gimbaled-Thruster
In impulsive orbital maneuvers, a large disturbance torque is generated by the thrust vector misalignment from the center of mass (C.M). The purpose of this paper is to reject the mentioned disturbance and stabilize the spacecraft attitude, based on the combination of a one degree of freedom (1DoF) gimbaled-thruster, two reaction wheels (RWs) and spin-stabilization. In this paper, the disturban...

The spacecraft simulator robust control through H∞-based linear matrix inequality (LMI) and robust adaptive method is implemented. The spacecraft attitude control subsystem simulator consists of a platform, an air-bearing and a set of four reaction wheels. This set up provides a free real-time three degree of freedom rotation. Spacecraft simulators are applied in upgrading and checking the c...
متن کاملShape change actuation for precision attitude comtrol - Control Systems Magazine, IEEE
T he dynamics and control of spacecraft have been widely studied because of their technological significance [1]–[3]. For single-axis rotation, a rigid spacecraft can sometimes be viewed as a double integrator with torque input [4]. Three-dimensional rotation is more complex and involves three-axis torque inputs provided by thrusters with attitude and rate sensing. The problem becomes more diff...
متن کاملA Numerical Comparison of Inertia-Free Attitude Control Laws for a Spacecraft with a Discrete Flexible Mode
Structural flexibility in spacecraft can degrade the accuracy of the attitude control system. With this motivation in mind, we compare the performance of inertia-free attitude control laws for a spacecraft with an undamped discrete flexible mode and demonstrate robustness with respect to unmodeled spacecraft dynamics and actuator saturation. First the equations of motion are derived using Lagra...
