Development of a Pyrotechnic Shock Simulation Apparatus for Spacecraft Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
University. It will be used for testing spacecraft components with dimensions up to 24 " x12 " x12 " as well as CubeSats. Additionally, it may be used as an instructional or demonstrational tool in the Aerospace Department's space environments course. The apparatus functions by way of mechanical impact of an approximately 20 lb stainless steel swinging hammer. Tests were performed to verify the simulator's functionality. Suggestions for improvement and further progress are also given.

Earth’s Magnetic Field for Spacecraft Attitude Control Applications (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this paper the earth’s magnetic field is simulated precisely while the intensity and direction of the field are verified with one of the standard references for selected points on the earth and the results are compared with some low-order models. In another simulation, the complete model is compared with a common approximate model. The magnetic field in orbital frame is described and to empl...
متن کاملDesign and Functional Simulation for a Pyrotechnic Robot
Pyrotechnic robots are service robots which are used to reduce the intervention time of pyrotechnic troops and the danger for the operators. Pyrotechnic robots are used to inspect hazardous areas or/and to remove and to destroy explosive or suspect devices/objects. These robots can be used to make some corridors through mined battle fields, to manipulate and neutralize the intact ammunition, to...
متن کاملEffects Analysis of Frozen Conditions for Spacecraft Relative Motion Dynamics
The purpose of this rersearch is to analyze the effective application of particular earth orbits in dynamical modeling of relative motion problem between two spacecraft. One challenge in implementing these motions is maintaining the relations as it experiences orbital perturbations (zonal harmonics J2 and J3), most notably due to the Earth’s oblateness. Certain aspects of the orbital geometry c...
متن کاملRobust Attitude Control of Spacecraft Simulator with External Disturbances
The spacecraft simulator robust control through H∞-based linear matrix inequality (LMI) and robust adaptive method is implemented. The spacecraft attitude control subsystem simulator consists of a platform, an air-bearing and a set of four reaction wheels. This set up provides a free real-time three degree of freedom rotation. Spacecraft simulators are applied in upgrading and checking the c...
متن کاملDesign of Nonlinear Robust Controller and Observer for Control of a Flexible Spacecraft
Two robust nonlinear controllers along with a nonlinear observer have been developed in this study to control a 1D nonlinear flexible spacecraft. The first controller is based on dynamic inversion, while the second one is composed of dynamic inversion and µ-synthesis controllers. The extension of dynamic inversion approach to flexible spacecraft is impeded by the non-minimum phase characteristi...
