Orbital Maneuvers Using Low-thrust
نویسندگان
چکیده
To perform the orbital maneuvers, a software that calculates an optimal maneuver is developed. This method will be used as a reference for comparison and analises of the suboptimal methods to be used on board. This method id based on an analytical development that generate equations that can be computed in a shorter time, allowing real time applications. Key-Words: Orbital maneuvers, low thrust, astrodynamics, artificial satellites, orbital dynamics.

متن کاملQuaternion-based Finite-time Sliding Mode Controller Design for Attitude Tracking of a Rigid Spacecraft during High-thrust Orbital Maneuver in the Presence of Disturbance Torques
In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...
متن کاملLow-Thrust Out-of-Plane Orbital Station-Keeping Maneuvers for Satellites
This paper considers the problem of out of plane orbital maneuvers for station keeping of satellites. The main idea is to consider that a satellite is in an orbit around the Earth and that it has its orbit is disturbed by one or more forces. Then, it is necessary to perform a small amplitude orbital correction to return the satellite to its original orbit, to keep it performing its mission. A l...
متن کاملThrust - Limited Optimal Three - Dimensional Spacecraft Trajectories
Several optimal three-dimensional orbital transfer problems are solved for thrust-limited spacecrafts using collocation and nonlinear programming techniques. The solutions for full nonlinear equations of motion are obtained where the integrals of the free Keplerian motion in three dimensions are utilized for coasting arcs. In order to limit the solution space, interior-point constraints are use...
متن کاملLow-Thrust Maneuvers for the Efficient Correction of Orbital Elements
In this study, low-thrust strategies aimed at the modification of specific orbital elements are investigated and presented. Closed loop guidance laws, steering the initial value of a given orbital element to a target value, are derived, implemented and tested. The thrust laws have been defined analyzing the Gauss form of the Lagrange Planetary Equations isolating the relevant contributions to c...
