Attitude Control Synthesis for Small Satellites Using Gradient Method. Part II Linear Equations, Synthesis
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to continue paper [5] which presented the nonlinear equations of the movement for small satellite, this paper presents some aspects regarding the synthesis of the attitude control. After the movement equation linearization, the stability and command matrixes will be established and by using the gradient methods controller we will obtain them. Two attitude control cases will be analysed: the reaction wheels and the micro thrusters. The results will be used in the project European Space Moon Orbit - ESMO, founded by the European Space Agency in which the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest is involved.

Strain resolving method of composite plane plates
The paper deals with the extension of isotropic plates problem to the case of composite plates. In order to perform it, the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses were "softened” by some additional ones. Considering the constitutive...
A Brief Discussion Regarding Types of Cavitation in Squeeze Film Dampers and Cavitation Effects
Squeeze film dampers (SFD) are probably the most used shaft control devices in aircraft jet engines; SFDs consist in oil films, elastic elements and various antirotational devices that tune the stiffness and damping of t...

Tuning of the Wavelet Filters for the IMU Data Based on the PDC Method and the GPS Solution in a Bi-Dimensional Navigation Application
The degradation of navigation accuracy and integrity of GPS in the presence of radio frequency interference, hostile jamming and high dynamical situations, when the satellite signals may get lost due to signal blockage,...
Nonlinear automatic control of the satellites by using the quaternion and the angular velocities’ vectors
In this paper, the authors propose a new architecture for the control of the satellites’ attitude by using a control law mainly based on a proportional-integrator component with respect to the quaternion vector and to th...
