Escobar DESIGN AUTOMATION FOR SATELLITE PASSIVE THERMAL CON TROL
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the advantage of using genetic algorithms for the automated design of a small satellite passive thermal control. The control law is a layout of heterogeneous material patches covering the satellite surface. We tested our candidate material patch solutions with a finite element method simulation of the satellite thermal conditions during direct sun light orbit. We found that the method has great potential to find interesting solutions although it suffers from premature convergence.

Predictive Functional Control: More than One Way to Prestabilise
It is possible to prestabilise the predictions used within Predictive Functional Control in order to increase the likelihood of a stabilising con trol design. How ev er, the minimal order approac h to prestabilisation is not always a good basis for con trol design. This w eakness is investigated and some non-minimal forms of prestabilisation are developed which are a much better basis for control.

متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...

متن کاملA weighted metric method to optimize multi-response robust problems
In a robust parameter design (RPD) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. Response sur-face methodology (RSM) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. Since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...
