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.

TORNADO concept and realisation of a rotor for small VAWTs
The concept of a three-tier configuration for a vertical axis rotor was successfully developed into a experimental model. The rotor assembly is divided into three tiers with three straight blades in each tier. The three-...

Mathematical modeling of a V-stack piezoelectric aileron actuation
The article presents a mathematical modeling of aileron actuation that uses piezo V-shaped stacks. The aim of the actuation is the increasing of flutter speed in the context of a control law, in order to widen the flight...
Bezier-curve Navigation Guidance for Impact Time and Angle Control
This paper addresses a novel impact time and angle control guidance law using a Bézier curve. The 2nd order Bézier curve consists of one control point and two boundary points; initial point P0, middle point P1 and end po...
The oxidation behavior of classical thermal barrier coatings exposed to extreme temperature
Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are designed to protect metal surfaces from extreme temperatures and improve their resistance to oxidation during service. Currently, the most commonly used systems are those that have the...
