Hysteresis Nutation Damper for Spin Satellite
نویسنده
چکیده
Hysteresis dampers are commonly used in Passive magnetic Attitude Control System (PACS). In PACS these rods produce a damping torque and reduce the satellite angular momentum and angular velocity. In this paper, a spin satellite was investigated which utilizes a passive magnetic damper consisting of magnetic hysteresis rods aligned with principal axis or spin axis of satellite and de-tumbling of the satellite, and the pure spin was achieved. An analytical model was presented to analyze hysteresis damper and a numerical simulation was performed to obtain dynamic properties of the spin attitude. In addition, assuming a dynamic imbalance, attitude behavior and damper effect on the spin rate of satellite were analyzed. The behavior of this passive magnetic stabilized satellite was simulated from the initial post separation phase.

Surface Tension Lockup in the Image Nutation Damper – Anomaly and Recovery
Early telemetry from the spin-stabilized IMAGE spacecraft indicated that the vehicle’s initial nutation was not decaying. This behavior was especially puzzling because the spacecraft’s passive nutation damper behaved as expected while IMAGE was attached to the spinning upper stage. The lack of damping was also puzzling because the damper was a tubular ring partially filled with liquid mercury; ...
متن کاملVISCOUS NUTATION DAMPER, MODELING AND ANALYSIS
In some aerospace vehicles, the tracking sensors which act in a tracking loop as stabilizer are mounted on a two degree of freedom gyro. The gyro must align its rotor axis with the line of sight in order to remove tracking errors. The tracking precision and sensitivity are functions of the gyros performance. One of the main factors in reducing the precision and producing instabilities is nutati...

Abstract. Air-core magnetotorquer-only attitude control system (ACS) for the low-cost, spin-stabilized ITASAT satellite is here described. ITASAT’s ACS has been tested by simulation with synthetic measurement data. The proposed closedloop ACS system is based on 3-axis attitude and angular rate estimates provided by an extended Kalman filter processing vector measurements from a Sun sensor and a...

With 1D-nutation NMR for a spin I = 5/2 system, the relative line intensities of the central and the innerand outer-satellite transitions are calculated as functions of quadrupolar coupling ωQ and rf pulse strength ωrf. Experimentally measured line intensities including both central and satellites are used to extract the values of ωQ and ωrf from nonlinear least-squares fits. The method is illu...
