Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A system for inertial experiment pointing and attitude control (designated SIXPAC) of future manned spacecraft has been investigated. The SIXPAC concept consists of three double-gimbaled control moment gyros aligned with the axes of the spacecraft, and derives its control torques from precession of the gyro wheels. This system is readily mechanized, has inherent redundancy, and should provide a wider range of attitude control for manned spacecraft than the gyro systems previously considered. The SIXPAC can provide both the large range of control torques and the fine attitude holds associated with spacecraft experiments such as earth-surface tracking and mapping, photographic missions, and astronomical observations. Periodic aerodynamic and gravity-gradient torques can also be counteracted by the proposed system. Redundancies inherent to the three-gyro arrangement further allow reduced spacecraft control in case of failure or shutdown of one of the three gyros. The complete equations of motion for a spacecraft with the SIXPAC were developed, and were integrated numerically on a digital computer for an example mission with a possible Apollo applications concept. Results of this computer study were used to evaluate the spacecraft and control system response and to determine the power and fuel consumption of the SIXPAC. Characteristics time histories of the attitude and angular rates of the spacecraft are presented for a number of experiments that have been proposed for typical Apollo applications missions, and the performance of the gyro system is analyzed during the control tasks associated with these experiments.

Download or read book Spacecraft Momentum Control Systems written by Frederick A. Leve and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to serve both as a practical technical reference and a resource for gaining a fuller understanding of the state of the art of spacecraft momentum control systems, specifically looking at control moment gyroscopes (CMGs). As a result, the subject matter includes theory, technology, and systems engineering. The authors combine material on system-level architecture of spacecraft that feature momentum-control systems with material about the momentum-control hardware and software. This also encompasses material on the theoretical and algorithmic approaches to the control of space vehicles with CMGs. In essence, CMGs are the attitude-control actuators that make contemporary highly agile spacecraft possible. The rise of commercial Earth imaging, the advances in privately built spacecraft (including small satellites), and the growing popularity of the subject matter in academic circles over the past decade argues that now is the time for an in-depth treatment of the topic. CMGs are augmented by reaction wheels and related algorithms for steering all such actuators, which together comprise the field of spacecraft momentum control systems. The material is presented at a level suitable for practicing engineers and those with an undergraduate degree in mechanical, electrical, and/or aerospace engineering.
Download or read book Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control written by Bong Wie and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook that incorporates the latest methods used for the analysis of spacecraft orbital, attitude, and structural dynamics and control. Spacecraft dynamics is treated as a dynamic system with emphasis on practical applications, typical examples of which are the analysis and redesign of the pointing control system of the Hubble Space Telescope and the analysis of an active vibrations control for the COFS (Control of Flexible Structures) Mast Flight System. In addition to the three subjects mentioned above, dynamic systems modeling, analysis, and control are also discussed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Attitude Reacquisition of a Gravity gradient Control moment gyro Stabilized Spacecraft written by Clark E. Stohl and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impulsive or time-decaying disturbances of sufficient magnitude will cause a gravitygradient control-moment-gyro stabilized spacecraft to tumble. A procedure for operating a thruster system by ground command to perform reacquisition was functionally designed and evaluated on an analog computer. When the disturbance has ceased, an on-board thruster system is used to aline the total angular momentum vector of the spacecraft in an orientation that allows the control-moment gyros to damp all spacecraft motion into a single axis. For a spacecraft in a Sun-synchronous orbit, a procedure was found to shorten the time for attitude reacquisition by using a solar array for crude attitude information.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger D. Werking Head, Attitude Determination and Control Section National Aeronautics and Space Administration/ Goddard Space Flight Center Extensiye work has been done for many years in the areas of attitude determination, attitude prediction, and attitude control. During this time, it has been difficult to obtain reference material that provided a comprehensive overview of attitude support activities. This lack of reference material has made it difficult for those not intimately involved in attitude functions to become acquainted with the ideas and activities which are essential to understanding the various aspects of spacecraft attitude support. As a result, I felt the need for a document which could be used by a variety of persons to obtain an understanding of the work which has been done in support of spacecraft attitude objectives. It is believed that this book, prepared by the Computer Sciences Corporation under the able direction of Dr. James Wertz, provides this type of reference. This book can serve as a reference for individuals involved in mission planning, attitude determination, and attitude dynamics; an introductory textbook for stu dents and professionals starting in this field; an information source for experimen ters or others involved in spacecraft-related work who need information on spacecraft orientation and how it is determined, but who have neither the time nor the resources to pursue the varied literature on this subject; and a tool for encouraging those who could expand this discipline to do so, because much remains to be done to satisfy future needs.
