Aas 07-130 an Experimental Validation of Spacecraft Attitude and Power Tracking with Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes

چکیده
Variable speed control moment gyros (VSCMGs) distinguish themselves from the conventional CMGs by having extra degrees of freedom to control the wheel spin in addition to the gimbal angles. Thus, they can be adopted to achieve additional objectives, such as energy storage, as well as attitude control. VSCMGs are ideal for integrated power and attitude control systems (IPACS). The gimbal rates of the VSCMGs can be used to provide the attitude control torque, whereas the wheel accelerations can be used for both attitude tracking and power tracking. Several control laws for simultaneous attitude and power tracking have been proposed in the literature. In this paper we experimentally validate an IPACS control law proposed in our previous work using a realistic 3-dof spacecraft simulator.

Spacecraft Adaptive Attitude and Power Tracking with Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes
Control laws for an integrated power/attitude control system (IPACS) for a satellite using variable-speed singlegimbal control moment gyroscopes (VSCMGs) are introduced. Whereas the wheel spin rates of the conventional CMGs are constant, the VSCMGs are allowed to have variable speeds. Therefore, VSCMGs have extra degrees of freedom and can be used to achieve additional objectives, such as energ...
متن کاملNew Startup Method Using Internal Momentum Management of Variable-Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes
An initial startupmethod for a spacecraft actuated by a pyramidal arrangement of variable-speed controlmoment gyroscopes is developed. The method provides closed-loop internal momentum tracking control to enable the flywheels to start from rest and reach desired wheel speeds. The proposed controller functioning as a variable-speed control moment gyroscope steering law is developed in terms of t...
متن کاملDynamics and Control of a Rigid Spacecraft with a Control Moment Gyroscope
The attitude dynamics of a spacecraft with a variable speed control moment gyroscope (CMG), in the presence of conservative external inputs, are derived using variational principles. A complete dynamics model, that relaxes some of the assumptions made in prior literature on control moment gyroscopes, is obtained. These dynamics equations show the complex nonlinear coupling between the internal ...

In this paper, we analyze dynamics of a DGVSCMG(Double-Gimbal VariableSpeed Control Moment Gyro) and develop an easy-to-use LPV (Linear ParameterVarying) model, in which we deal with 3-axis attitude control of a spacecraft equipped with a DGVSCMG. Although it is hard to consider overall stability and control performance of attitude control at the same time with conventional methods, this paper ...
متن کاملSingularity Analysis and Avoidance of Variable-Speed Control Moment Gyros – Part II : Power Constraint Case
A Variable Speed Control Moment Gyro (VSCMG) is a relatively recent torque actuator device for spacecraft attitude control. As implied by its name, a VSCMG is a singlegimbal control moment gyro (CMG) with a flywheel having variable speed. Owing to this extra degree of freedom, a VSCMG can be used to achieve additional objectives, such as power tracking and/or singularity avoidance, as well as a...
