Driving simulators are widely used in different applications: driver training, vehicle development, and medical studies. To fully exploit the potential of such devices, it is crucial to develop motion control strategies that generate realistic driving feelings. This has to be achieved while keeping the platform within its limited operation space. Such strategies are called motion cueing algorit...

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite will record the height distribution of laser energy reflected from surfaces within 70 m diameter footprints. For land surfaces, post-processing of this waveform data will be used to estimate the within-footprint mean elevation and surface relief due to ground slope and roughness, vegetation cover, buildi...

Control of flexible structures is an open problem. Such structures can be very different, for example, robot arm or satellite solar panel. The common point between these structures is their very light weight and large length. Light structure control requires less energy but a much more complex control system to deal with vibrations. In this paper a flexible rotatory beam is modeled by Euler-Ber...

The Galileo Ground Segment design includes a global network of Galileo Sensor Stations (GSS) to be used for orbit determination, time synchronization, and integrity determination. NovAtel, under contract to ESA, is developing the requirements for the high quality Ground Reference Receivers to be used in the GSS. During the design process NovAtel is leveraging their experience as the world’s lea...

Abstract The VLEO satellites, that are orbiting at an altitude of 200-300 km and provide advantages for high-resolution Earth observation atmospheric science, becoming important not only but also agriculture, forestry, oceans observations, military, national security the future satellite businesses. We evaluated, first time, performance defined erosion yields (Ey) a selected number main space h...

Navigation via signals of opportunity (NAVSOP) is able to realize positioning by making use hundreds different that are all around us. A method NAVSOP for low earth orbit (LEO) satellites proposed in this paper, which the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) authorized utilized as signal (SOP). At first, carrier recovery technique studied under premise pseudo-code unknown. Secondly, a base...

Creating active, student-centered learning situations in postsecondary education is an ongoing challenge for engineering educators. Contemporary students familiar with visually engaging and fast-paced games can find traditional classroom methods of lecture and guided laboratory experiments limiting. This paper presents a methodology that incorporates driving simulation, motion simulation, and e...
