Ground-Based Control of Satellite Clusters
نویسنده
چکیده
Air Force Research Laboratory's Distributed Architecture and Simulation Laboratory (DASL) is designed to support the development of new concepts in space systems. One new concept is AFRL’s TechSat 21 program. TechSat 21 is a cluster of formation-flying and cooperating satellites. TechSat 21 poses significant challenges to satellite operations. The ground control station must be capable of monitoring and commanding a ‘virtual” satellite. In the last few months, satellite simulations, intelligent ground systems, and visualizations have been built and pulled together into an end-to-end system. This system passed an important demonstration milestone. The continuing effort is to create a more precise model of the satellite cluster in the intelligent ground station.

This paper, on the basis of the traditional design of database for ground control point, tries to founded a fast auto-correction method of satellite remote sensing imagery based on feature ground control point database which brings local feature points as the effective supplement and aims to achieve the automatic matching between feature ground control points and original images that need geome...
متن کاملExperimental Study for Dual-Manipulator-Based Operation of Floating Massive Payload
A robot satellite with dual-manipulators is one of the choices to operate payload in orbit, for example, to capture or deorbit damaged satellites. We have constructed a ground experiment simulator system including two 7-degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulators as a chaser satellite model and floating testbeds on a flat floor as target satellite models. This system is a tele-operation ground experim...
