Book excerpt: La tesi es centra en l'estudi de la dinàmica i control de formacions de satèl·lits connectats per tethers. Aquestes formacions estan compostes per diversos satèl·lits (agents) connectats per cables (tethers). L'objectiu de la primera part de l'estudi, és l'avaluació de l'efecte de la massa a clústers connectats per múltiples tethers. Degut a la complexitat de les formacions analitzades, l'estabilitat de la formació s'analitza a través de simulacions. S'estudia el comportament pel cas ideal d'orbites circulars, així com en casos no ideals tals com orbites de referència el·liptiques, o moviment sota l'efecte de pertorbacions. La tesi analitza la dinàmica de les formacions per òrbites circulars, mostrant que l'efecte de la massa dels tethers afecta la dinàmica de formacions de geometria tancada (on el perímetre extern esta definit per tethers) amb un satèl·lit central. Aquest efecte dóna lloc a una clara inestabilitat que afecta la posició dels agents respecte a l'objecte central. Aquest efecte no és apreciable en models simplificats on s'ignora l'efecte de la massa al model. Quan es combina una òrbita de referència el·liptica amb un model que incorpora la massa dels tethers, l'efecte més notori és la variació de la velocitat de rotació local del clúster entre el pas per l'apogeu i perigeu de l'òrbita de referència. Aquest efecte té conseqüències sobre l'elongació dels tethers, la forma de les oscil·lacions, i la separació entre tethers adjacents (especialment en el cas de formacions obertes). Quan es té en compte l'efecte de la pertorbació J2, en el cas de formacions orientades envers la Terra, la trajectòria de l'objecte central presenta oscil·lacions d'amplitud creixent en la direcció perpendicular al pla orbital. La segona part de l'estudi es centra en la definició d'una llei de control per regular la posició i orientació d'un clúster amb geometria de doble piràmide orientat envers la Terra. El problema de control es descompon en dos nivells. Un primer nivell per un control primari de posició i orientació del cluster, i un segon nivell per un control de posició precís per a cada agent del cluster. Per tal d'aconseguir el primer nivell de control, i aprofitant les similituds entre un cluster connectat per tethers i un sòlid rígid, s'utilitza la tècnica d'estructura virtual. La formulació utilitzada en aquest estudi amplia el model general d'estructura virtual utilitzat per formacions estàtiques, tot afegint les equacions necessàries per a una formació que gira sobre un eix propi. El controlador esta dissenyat per permetre el canvi de la velocitat de gir i el moment d'inèrcia de la formació a través d'un sistema que permet modificar la longitud dels tethers. D'aquesta forma es permet controlar l'angle d'inclinació de Likins-Pringle del clúster. Per a la definició del control de precisió, l'estudi avalua inicialment diferents alternatives basades en l'estat de l'art de sistemes de control aplicats a robòtica. Després de descartar altres alternatives, es proposen dues lleis de control : Una primera basada en un controlador PID, i una basada en control lliscant. Per l'opció de control lliscant es presenta una demostració d'estabilitat exponencial semiglobal. Els resultats de simulacions confirmen la viabilitat de la solució de control que permet posicionament amb precisió submil·limetrica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tethered Satellite Systems (TSS) has been an ongoing project around the world for many decades. This study examined the dynamics an dcontrols of tethered satellites. The equations of motion were developed and simulated with no control and small eccentric orbits. A control law was derived by associating the Hamiltonian of the system to a Lyapunov Funciton. This control law was then simulated to demonstrate ability and robustness. The tethered system can be retrieved and deployed in a small number of orbits, and return from a perturbation quickly. Examination of a non thruster controlled system resulted in asymptotic convergence in retrieval and station keeping, but the inplane angle, orbital plane, converged during deployment. Time to complete the phases was similar to out of plane thruster controlled. The maximum eccentricities were found for retrieval and deployment when the system started at the perihelion of the orbit with a 100Km tether. Drag was added to the model because it effects the dynamics when the subsatellite is very close to earth. Most of the effects are seen in the inplane angle. At fully deployed the inplane angle was small. A Lyapunov controller for tether satellites works very well under ideal conditions. Once aerodynamics are included into the model, offsets and oscillations occur because of the new forces that unbalance the system compared to the model without drag"--Abstract.

Book Synopsis A Dynamics and Control Algorithm for Low Earth Orbit Precision Formation Flying Satellites by : Jesse Koovik Eyer
Download or read book A Dynamics and Control Algorithm for Low Earth Orbit Precision Formation Flying Satellites written by Jesse Koovik Eyer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative dynamics and control algorithm is developed for a dual-nanosatellite formation flying mission. The principal function of this algorithm is to use regular GPS state measurements to determine the controlled satellite's tracking error from a set of reference trajectories in the local-vertical/local-horizontal reference frame. A linear state-feedback control law---designed using a linear quadratic regulator method---calculates the optimal thrusts necessary to correct this error and communicates the thrust directions to the attitude control system and the thrust durations to the propulsion system. The control system is developed to minimize the conflicting metrics of tracking error and DeltaV requirements. To reconfigure the formation, an optimization algorithm is designed using the analytical solution to the state-space equation and the Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire state transition matrix to solve for dual-thrust reconfiguration maneuvers. The resulting trajectories require low DeltaV, use finite-time thrusts and are accurate in a fully nonlinear orbital environment. This algorithm will be used to control the CanX-4 & 5 formation flying demonstration mission. Finally, an analytical study of the stability of the formation flying algorithm is conducted. To facilitate the proof, the control algorithm is converted into a discrete-time linear time-varying system. Stability of the system is determined via discrete Floquet theory. This analysis is applied to the CanX-4 & 5 control laws for tracking along-track orbits, projected circular orbits, and quasi J2-invariant formations. In addition, an iterative method which numerically generates quasi periodic trajectories for a satellite formation is presented. This novel technique utilizes a shooting approach to the Newton method to close the relative deputy trajectory over a specific number of orbits, then fits the actual perturbed motion of the deputy with a Fourier series to enforce periodicity. This process is applied to two well-known satellite formations: a projected circular orbit and a J2-invariant formation. Compared to conventional formations, these resulting quasi-periodic trajectories require a dramatically lower control effort to maintain and could therefore be used to extend DeltaV-limited formation flying missions.

Book Synopsis Satellite Tether Systems by : Kalyan K. Mankala
Download or read book Satellite Tether Systems written by Kalyan K. Mankala and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, researchers have realized many potential applications of tethered satellite systems that include atmospheric data collection, placing satellites from low earth orbits into higher orbits, capture of non-functional satellites for service and repair, satellite reboost and deorbiting. The deployment/retrieval dynamics of such systems due to gravity gradient forces is highly nonlinear in nature. Also, due to orbital motion, the longitudinal and transverse motions are coupled. With only boundary control, the tethered satellite system forms a highly underactuated system. In this thesis, we derive and validate the deployment dynamics of such a system following two different basic approaches---Newton's laws and Hamilton's principle. The complexity of the system is studied in an incremental nature using three different models. The problem of controlled deployment/retrieval is approached using a partial feedback linearizing controller. The problem of station keeping is tackled in a more novel way by developing a boundary controller based on the linearization of the infinite dimensional tether system around radial relative equilibrium configuration. Lyapunov function is used to study the stability of the controller on the linearized system. Effectiveness of controllers developed for deployment and station keeping are verified through simulations. We have also studied the dynamics of tethered satellite systems in the presence of electrodynamic forces due to the magnetic field of the earth. We propose a novel method to the control the tether configurations in the presence of electrodynamic forces.

Book Synopsis Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems by : Hans Troger
Download or read book Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems written by Hans Troger and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During many of the earliest American and Russian space missions, experiments were performed using cables to connect people and objects to spacecraft in orbit. These attempts generated considerable information about the formation of tethered systems and basic problems with tether orientation and gravity-gradient stabilization. During the 1970s, interest in tethered space systems (TSS) came to the forefront with an international project that involved the hanging of a probe from a low-orbit satellite to collect data on the Earth and its atmosphere. Since that time, TSS has grown to become its own area of research. Dynamics of Tethered Space Systems brings together the work of seven leading researchers working at the forefront of TSS. Together, they provide a brief yet thorough introduction to TSS. Then, combining theory with experimental approaches important to industry, they cover the dynamics of the mechanical, physical, and mathematical modeling approaches involved in tethered satellite deployment. They present several models from the literature, focusing on the simplest but most important system: two satellites in orbit around the Earth. Discussion then expands to cover more complex examples. Along the way, the authors consider a number of important topics, such as energy production resulting from interaction between the system and Earth’s magnetic field and momentum transfer in relation to satellites, microgravity laboratories, and futuristic applications such as the space elevator. They also look at a number of challenges, including those with deployment and energy dissipation. Providing approaches to theoretical models and experimental methods, the text includes a wealth of essential equations and detailed analyses of forces acting on tethered objects in motion. It provides both a starting point for further research and the tools needed to apply that research to the applications of tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small satellite technology is opening up a new era in space exploration offering reduced cost of launch and maintenance, operational flexibility with on-orbit reconfiguration, redundancy etc. The true power of such missions can be harnessed only from close and precise formation flying of satellites. Formation flying missions support diverse application areas such as reconnaissance, remote sensing, solar observatory, deep space observatories, etc. A key component involved in formation flying is the guidance algorithm that should account for system nonlinearities and unknown disturbances. The main focus of this book is to present various nonlinear optimal control and adaptive guidance ideas to ensure precise close formation flying in presence of such difficulties. In addition to in-depth discussion of the relevant topics, MATLAB program files for the results included are also provided for the benefit of the readers. Since this book has concise information about the various guidance techniques, it will be useful reference for researchers and practising engineers in the space field.
