Pei Chen1, Xiucong Sun2, and Chao Han3 Beihang University, Beijing, 100191, People’s Republic of China Nomenclature U = gravitational potential, m2/s2 T = gravity gradient tensor (GGT), E TECEF = GGT in ECEF, E TENU = GGT in ENU, E TEIG = GGT in the Eigen frame, E T0 = GGT in GRF, E LA→B = rotation matrix from A to B r = observation position, m x, y, z = cartesian coordinates of r r, φ, λ = sph...
متن کاملFully magnetic attitude control for spacecraft subject to gravity gradient
This paper presents stability and control analysis of a satellite on a near polar orbit subject to the gravity torque. The satellite is actuated by a set of mutually perpendicular coils. The concept is that interaction between the Earth's magnetic "eld and a magnetic "eld generated by the coils results in a mechanical torque used for attitude corrections. Magnetic actuation due to its simplicit...
متن کاملActive Magnetic Control System for Gravity Gradient Stabilized Spacecraft
Active magnetic control is studied as a means to improve the capabilities and perfonnance of gravity gradient stabilized spacecraft. Active magnetic control eliminates the need for a passive damper and can reduce significantly the costs and complexity of other functional parts of the spacecraft. The system under study includes three magnetic torquers, one three-axis magnetometer, and a control ...
متن کاملLocation and dimensionality estimation of geological bodies using eigenvectors of "Computed Gravity Gradient Tensor"
One of the methodologies employed in gravimetry exploration is eigenvector analysis of Gravity Gradient Tensor (GGT) which yields a solution including an estimation of a causative body’s Center of Mass (COM), dimensionality and strike direction. The eigenvectors of GGT give very rewarding clues about COM and strike direction. Additionally, the relationships between its components provide a quan...
متن کاملNew Improvement in Interpretation of Gravity Gradient Tensor Data Using Eigenvalues and Invariants: An Application to Blatchford Lake, Northern Canada
Recently, interpretation of causative sources using components of the gravity gradient tensor (GGT) has had a rapid progress. Assuming N as the structural index, components of the gravity vector and gravity gradient tensor have a homogeneity degree of -N and - (N+1), respectively. In this paper, it is shown that the eigenvalues, the first and the second rotational invariants of the GGT (I1 and ...
