Some interesting aspects of motion and control such as those found in biological and robotic locomotion, and attitude control of spacecraft, involve geometric concepts. When an animal or a robot moves its joints in a periodic fashion, it can rotate or move forward. This observation leads to the general idea that when one variable in a system moves in a periodic fashion, motion of the whole obje...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-based attitude determination has been recognized as a significant field of study in numerous ground, marine and airborne applications. This paper investigates the feasibility of precise attitude determination using a GNSS receiver capable of antenna array processing. The ability to determine attitude parameters by employing only a single satellite sign...

Applying flat systems technique in attitude fault tolerant control of an under-actuated satellite has been investigated in this article. The main purpose of this study is development and implementation of a new idea in order to recovery of satellite stability and its acceptable performance in actuator fault scenarios. Solving the attitude fault tolerant control problem is based on consideration...

In this article mathematical and computer models of sun sensor and magnetic sensor are considered that can be used for determination of small satellite attitude. In particular, the mathematical models of slit sun sensor and flux-gate magnetic sensor are given.
