Attitude Dynamics and Control of a Controlled Bias-Momentum Satellite.

Satellite Attitude Control and Power Tracking with Momentum Wheels

A control law for an Integrated Power/Attitude Control System (IPACS) for a satellite is presented in this paper. Four non-coplanar momentum wheels in a special configuration, and a set of three thrusters are used to implement the torque inputs. The momentum wheels are used as attitude control actuators, as well as an energy storage mechanism, providing power to the spacecraft. In that respect,...

Satellite Attitude Control and Power Tracking with Energy/Momentum Wheels

A control law for an Integrated Power/Attitude Control System (IPACS) for a satellite is presented in this paper. Four or more energy/momentum wheels in an arbitrary non-coplanar configuration and a set of three thrusters are used to implement the torque inputs. The energy/momentum wheels are used as attitude control actuators, as well as an energy storage mechanism, providing power to the spac...

A Simulator of Satellite Attitude Dynamics

This article describes a simulator of small satellite attitude environment and dynamics, complete with a set of realistic sensors and the most commonly used actuator in this class of satellites. The simulator described is useful in attitude estimation and control algorithm development. Some results of the simulation of the PoSAT-1 satellite are presented.

Analysis of the Hausat-2 Attitude Control with a Pitch Bias Momentum System

The HAUSAT-2 is a 30kg class nanosatellite which is stabilized by 3-axis active control method. Its main mission objectives are to provide studying the scope of activity and ecology of animals using Animal Tracking System (ATS) and collecting the space information data of mission orbit from Electric Plasma Probe (EPP) as a space science payload. 2-axes sun sensors, 3-axes magnetometer, and star...
