NEW WORLDS OBSERVER ASMCS STUDY APPENDIX E.1 Analytical Modeling of Starshades

چکیده

We present laboratory studies of scaled occulting starshades for the New Worlds Observer (NWO). A deep reactive ion etched silicon starshade has been fabricated by NIST, designed to cover the same number of Fresnel zones as in the proposed mission. The broadband shadow is mapped with a photometer in a dark vacuum tunnel fed by a heliostat at HAO. CCD images provide direct contrast measurements of different features around the starshade. Preliminary measurements reach 5x10 suppression in the center of the shadow at the focal plane. The twodimensional structure of the starshade diffraction pattern is compared to that produced by the Fresnel integral.

A Robust Adaptive Observer-Based Time Varying Fault Estimation

This paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. A new linear matrix inequality (LMI) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (FAFE). The FAFE is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...

A new approach for Modeling and Evaluation of efficiency and power generation in Sterling engine; Analytical study

Although, the Stirling engine (SE) was invented many years ago, the investigation on SE is still interesting due to variety of energy resources can be applied to power it (solar energy, fossil fuel, biomass and geothermal energy). In this paper, the thermodynamic cycle of SE is analyzed by employing a new analytical model and a new method is presented to evaluate output power and efficiency of ...

Dynamic 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...
