AUVSAT - an experimental platform for spacecraft formation flying
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an experimental platform for relative attitude control of spacecraft. The platform is part of the AUVSAT project at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, a project with the goal of creating an underwater experimental laboratory for formation control of underwater vehicles and spacecraft. In the following we present the design and the specifications leading to it.

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
متن کاملObserver Based Sliding Mode Attitude Control: Theoretical and Experimental Results
In this paper we present the design of a sliding mode controller for attitude control of spacecraft actuated by three orthogonal reaction wheels. The equilibrium of the closed loop system is proved to be asymptotically stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Due to cases where spacecraft do not have angular velocity measurements, an estimator for the generalized velocity is derived and asymptotic stab...

This paper presents a set of linearized equations was derived for the motion, relative to an elliptical reference orbit, of an object influenced by J2 perturbation terms. Approximate solution for simulations was used to compare these equations and the linearized keplerian equations to the exact equations. The inclusion of the linearized perturbations in the derived equations increased the high ...
متن کاملSimulation Platform for Relative Navigation Using GPS Carrier Phase Measurements for Satellite Formation Flying Missions
The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for satellite formation flying missions has received more attention recently. The Carrier Phase Differential Global Positioning System (CDGPS) technique is generally employed to obtain relative position of a high accuracy. To validate the formation flying CDGPS algorithm, a simulation platform is necessary to simulate the GPS signals receive...
متن کاملDynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
