A Brief Survey of Attitude Control Systems for Small Satellites Using Momentum Concepts
نویسنده
چکیده
High-accuracy pointing capabilities are desired for many three-axis stabilized small satellites. Momentum-based attitude control system actuators, initially developed for larger satellites. are being utilized by small satellites to meetthesc pointing requirements. This paper provides an overview of momentum devices available for small satellite applications and three-axis attitude control system (ACS) configurations using these devices. Factors affecting the selection and sizing of ACS components are also addressed. Included are suggestions for potential ACS improvements and cost-saving measures that will make momentum devices more accessible to the small satellite community.

A Control Moment Gyro for Dynamic Attitude Control of Small Satellites
Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) are not often considered for use on small satellites and, as a result few small satellite missions have implemented CMGs as on-board actuators. There are many reasons for this, but mainly this is due the complexity of the mechanical and control system needed to implement an effective CMG, and also because off-the-shelf CMG systems are generally made for the larg...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling for Earth – Pointing Satellites to Control the Three – axis Attitude without the Attitude Information of One Axis
Various methods are presented to control the attitude of satellite due to lack of information of yaw axis attitude so far. In this paper, a new method is used which is more general and is applicable to all types of satellites, with at least one controller. This method is not limited to YAW axis and can control the two other axes as well. One feature of this approach is the ability to be modi...

متن کاملTracking Control of Uncertain Non - Iinear MIMO System Using Modified Sliding Surfaces for Attitude Large Maneuver of Satellites on Orbit
Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...
