Spin - axis stabilization of symmetric spacecraft withtwo control

چکیده
It is a well known fact that a symmetric spacecraft with two control torques supplied by gas jet actuators is not controllable, if the two control torques are along axes that span the two-dimensional plane orthogonal to the axis of symmetry. However, feedback control laws can be derived for a restricted problem corresponding to attitude stabilization about the symmetry axis. In this connguration, the nal state of the system is a uniform revolute motion about the symmetry axis. The purpose of this paper is to present a new methodology for constructing feedback control laws for this problem, based on a new formulation for the attitude kinematics.

متن کاملA novel approach to the attitude control of axisymmetric spacecraft
A novel approach is proposed for the attitude stabilization and reorientation of an axi-symmetric spacecraft subject to two gas jet actuators. The approach is based on a new formulation of the attitude kinematics. Abstract| In this paper we consider the problem of attitude stabilization of an axi-symmetric spacecraft using two pairs of gas jet actuators. These actuators provide control torques ...

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...

We consider the problem of attitude and angular velocity stabilization of a rigid spacecraft subject to a single actuator failure. Only two pairs of gas jet actuators are available to perform the control objectives. Various controllers have been proposed for this problem in the case that the spacecraft is axisymmetric about one of its axis. In this paper the spacecraft under consideration is a ...
متن کاملTime-optimal Control of Axi-symmetric Rigid Spacecraft
In this paper, we consider the minimum-time reorientation problem of an axi-symmetric rigid spacecraft with two independent control torques mounted perpendicular to the spacecraft symmetry axis. The spacecraft is allowed to spin about its symmetry axis. All possible control structures, including both singular and nonsingular arcs, are studied completely by deriving the corresponding formulae, a...
