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.
