Book Synopsis Attitude Determination of Triad and TIP-II and -III Gravity-Gradient-Stabilized Satellites by : C. E. Williams
Download or read book Attitude Determination of Triad and TIP-II and -III Gravity-Gradient-Stabilized Satellites written by C. E. Williams and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitude of a satellite refers to the rotational orientation of the spacecraft relative to some reference triad of Cartesian axes (these being, for the type of spacecraft treated here, the orbit radius vector, the normal-to-the-orbit plane, and the vector cross product of the two). Mathematically, the attitude is usually represented by nine direction cosines and/or three Euler angles. The numerical determination of these parameters is the objective of attitude estimation. Various schemes have been developed and used by the Applied Physical Laboratory to determine the attitude performance of its satellites. In recent years, a least-squares technique that involves eigenvalue and eigenvector computation has been added. This report presents the formulation of the technique and discusses its successful application. Attitude estimation results from three orbiting spacecraft are included. (Author).
Book Synopsis Attitude Stabilization for CubeSat by : Mohammed Chessab Mahdi
Download or read book Attitude Stabilization for CubeSat written by Mohammed Chessab Mahdi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores CubeSat technology, and develops a nonlinear mathematical model of a spacecraft with the assumption that the satellite is a rigid body. It places emphasis on the CubeSat subsystem, orbit dynamics and perturbations, the satellite attitude dynamic and modeling, and components of attitude determination and the control subsystem. The book focuses on the attitude stabilization methods of spacecraft, and presents gravity gradient stabilization, aerodynamic stabilization, and permanent magnets stabilization as passive stabilization methods, and spin stabilization and three axis stabilization as active stabilization methods. It also discusses the need to develop a control system design, and describes the design of three controller configurations, namely the Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller (PID), the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and how they can be used to design the attitude control of CubeSat three-axis stabilization. Furthermore, it presents the design of a suitable attitude stabilization system by combining gravity gradient stabilization with magnetic torquing, and the design of magnetic coils which can be added in order to improve the accuracy of attitude stabilization. The book then investigates, simulates, and compares possible controller configurations that can be used to control the currents of magnetic coils when magnetic coils behave as the actuator of the system.

Book Synopsis Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control by : J.R. Wertz
Download or read book Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control written by J.R. Wertz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger D. Werking Head, Attitude Determination and Control Section National Aeronautics and Space Administration/ Goddard Space Flight Center Extensiye work has been done for many years in the areas of attitude determination, attitude prediction, and attitude control. During this time, it has been difficult to obtain reference material that provided a comprehensive overview of attitude support activities. This lack of reference material has made it difficult for those not intimately involved in attitude functions to become acquainted with the ideas and activities which are essential to understanding the various aspects of spacecraft attitude support. As a result, I felt the need for a document which could be used by a variety of persons to obtain an understanding of the work which has been done in support of spacecraft attitude objectives. It is believed that this book, prepared by the Computer Sciences Corporation under the able direction of Dr. James Wertz, provides this type of reference. This book can serve as a reference for individuals involved in mission planning, attitude determination, and attitude dynamics; an introductory textbook for stu dents and professionals starting in this field; an information source for experimen ters or others involved in spacecraft-related work who need information on spacecraft orientation and how it is determined, but who have neither the time nor the resources to pursue the varied literature on this subject; and a tool for encouraging those who could expand this discipline to do so, because much remains to be done to satisfy future needs.
Book Synopsis Spacecraft Dynamics and Control by : Enrico Canuto
Download or read book Spacecraft Dynamics and Control written by Enrico Canuto and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: The Embedded Model Control Approach provides a uniform and systematic way of approaching space engineering control problems from the standpoint of model-based control, using state-space equations as the key paradigm for simulation, design and implementation. The book introduces the Embedded Model Control methodology for the design and implementation of attitude and orbit control systems. The logic architecture is organized around the embedded model of the spacecraft and its surrounding environment. The model is compelled to include disturbance dynamics as a repository of the uncertainty that the control law must reject to meet attitude and orbit requirements within the uncertainty class. The source of the real-time uncertainty estimation/prediction is the model error signal, as it encodes the residual discrepancies between spacecraft measurements and model output. The embedded model and the uncertainty estimation feedback (noise estimator in the book) constitute the state predictor feeding the control law. Asymptotic pole placement (exploiting the asymptotes of closed-loop transfer functions) is the way to design and tune feedback loops around the embedded model (state predictor, control law, reference generator). The design versus the uncertainty class is driven by analytic stability and performance inequalities. The method is applied to several attitude and orbit control problems. The book begins with an extensive introduction to attitude geometry and algebra and ends with the core themes: state-space dynamics and Embedded Model Control Fundamentals of orbit, attitude and environment dynamics are treated giving emphasis to state-space formulation, disturbance dynamics, state feedback and prediction, closed-loop stability Sensors and actuators are treated giving emphasis to their dynamics and modelling of measurement errors. Numerical tables are included and their data employed for numerical simulations Orbit and attitude control problems of the European GOCE mission are the inspiration of numerical exercises and simulations The suite of the attitude control modes of a GOCE-like mission is designed and simulated around the so-called mission state predictor Solved and unsolved exercises are included within the text - and not separated at the end of chapters - for better understanding, training and application Simulated results and their graphical plots are developed through MATLAB/Simulink code

Book Synopsis Attitude Performance of the Geos-ii Gravity-gradient Spacecraft by : James M. Whisnant
Download or read book Attitude Performance of the Geos-ii Gravity-gradient Spacecraft written by James M. Whisnant and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the report is to discuss the design analysis and flight performance of the attitude stabilization system of one of the Geodetic Earth Orbiting Satellites, GEOS-II. Geocentric stabilization is achieved in a completely passive manner by utilization of the gravity-gradient principle and a passive energy dissipator. The system analysis is accomplished through a digital solution of the equations of motion which describe the orientation of the spacecraft in orbit. Flight performance is obtained by an onboard attitude measuring system which determines the orientation of the satellite-sun line and magnetic field vector in the satellite reference system. A comparison of the theoretical and measured orientation of the spacecraft concludes the paper. (Author).
Book Synopsis The Hall Effect and Its Applications by : C. Chien
Download or read book The Hall Effect and Its Applications written by C. Chien and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1879, while a graduate student under Henry Rowland at the Physics Department of The Johns Hopkins University, Edwin Herbert Hall discovered what is now universally known as the Hall effect. A symposium was held at The Johns Hopkins University on November 13, 1979 to commemorate the lOOth anniversary of the discovery. Over 170 participants attended the symposium which included eleven in vited lectures and three speeches during the luncheon. During the past one hundred years, we have witnessed ever ex panding activities in the field of the Hall effect. The Hall effect is now an indispensable tool in the studies of many branches of condensed matter physics, especially in metals, semiconductors, and magnetic solids. Various components (over 200 million!) that utilize the Hall effect have been successfully incorporated into such devices as keyboards, automobile ignitions, gaussmeters, and satellites. This volume attempts to capture the important aspects of the Hall effect and its applications. It includes the papers presented at the symposium and eleven other invited papers. Detailed coverage of the Hall effect in amorphous and crystalline metals and alloys, in magnetic materials, in liquid metals, and in semiconductors is provided. Applications of the Hall effect in space technology and in studies of the aurora enrich the discussions of the Hall effect's utility in sensors and switches. The design and packaging of Hall elements in integrated circuit forms are illustrated.
Book Synopsis Gravity-gradient Attitude Stabilization for Communication Satellites by : Frederick F. Mobley
Download or read book Gravity-gradient Attitude Stabilization for Communication Satellites written by Frederick F. Mobley and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravity-gradient attitude stabilization has been used successfully in a number of near-earth satellites in recent months. After the pioneering effort of the Applied Physics Laboratory in the first successful demonstration of gravity stabilization in June 1963, this technique has become one of the basic elements of satellite technology. By January of 1964 three APL satellites had been vertically stabilized by the passive gravity-gradient technique, and are expected to continue in this state indefinitely. A satellite of the Naval Research Laboratory was also stabilized successfully in January 1964. These developments are reviewed herein, and the problems of extending these techniques to higher altitude for use as communication satellites are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 2014-05-31 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores topics that are central to the field of spacecraft attitude determination and control. The authors provide rigorous theoretical derivations of significant algorithms accompanied by a generous amount of qualitative discussions of the subject matter. The book documents the development of the important concepts and methods in a manner accessible to practicing engineers, graduate-level engineering students and applied mathematicians. It includes detailed examples from actual mission designs to help ease the transition from theory to practice and also provides prototype algorithms that are readily available on the author’s website. Subject matter includes both theoretical derivations and practical implementation of spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. It provides detailed derivations for attitude kinematics and dynamics and provides detailed description of the most widely used attitude parameterization, the quaternion. This title also provides a thorough treatise of attitude dynamics including Jacobian elliptical functions. It is the first known book to provide detailed derivations and explanations of state attitude determination and gives readers real-world examples from actual working spacecraft missions. The subject matter is chosen to fill the void of existing textbooks and treatises, especially in state and dynamics attitude determination. MATLAB code of all examples will be provided through an external website.
