Satellite Tracking of Wildlife
نویسندگان
چکیده
small satellite-based tracking system that is light enough to be carried on birds was developed in the 1980s at the Applied Physics Laboratory. A new, more capable generation is now under development that will contain, in addition to the Argos tracking platform transmitter terminal, a global positioning system receiver and a complement of advanced sensors. The sensors may include a digital audio capture system and a black-and-white charge-coupled device camera. The history of the program and plans for future development are discussed.

In this paper, an adaptive fault tolerant nonlinear control is proposed for attitude tracking problem of satellite with three magnetorquers and one reaction wheel in the presence of inertia uncertainties, external disturbances, and actuator faults. Firstly, sliding surface variable is chosen based on avoiding the singularity of control signal and guaranteeing the convergence of attitude trackin...

متن کاملAttitude Synchronization Control in Satellite Formation Flying in the Presence of States Measurement Errors
This paper presents a novel attitude synchronization framework for tracking control of multiple identical/heterogeneous satellites in formation flying with connected communication graph. The main contribution of the paper is considering sensors' measurement error to derive control gains. Moreover, the proposed strategy need no angular velocity communication. Nevertheless, the tracking synchroni...
