Book Stabilization System Analysis and Performance of the GEOS A Gravity gradient Satellite  Explorer XXIX

Download or read book Stabilization System Analysis and Performance of the GEOS A Gravity gradient Satellite Explorer XXIX written by V. L. Pisacane and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper discusses the stabilization system analysis and orbital performance of the GEOS-A gravity-gradient satellite which was launched into orbit on 6 November 1965. The analysis is performed with the aid of a rather general digital simulation of the non-linear differential equations of motion. It includes the effects of gravity-gradient forces, orbital eccentricity, eddy current dampers, residual magnetic dipoles, solar radiation pressure, and thermal distortion of the spacecraft's stabilization boom. The attitude measuring system aboard the spacecraft is described, and processing of the attitude data is discussed. Description of failures in the attitude determination system and discussion of the subsequent effects on the experimental attitude results are included. Experimental attitude results are compared with the results of the digital simulation. General agreement is obtained. (Author).

Book Attitude Performance of the Geos ii Gravity gradient Spacecraft

Download or read book Attitude Performance of the Geos ii Gravity gradient Spacecraft written by James M. Whisnant and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the report is to discuss the design analysis and flight performance of the attitude stabilization system of one of the Geodetic Earth Orbiting Satellites, GEOS-II. Geocentric stabilization is achieved in a completely passive manner by utilization of the gravity-gradient principle and a passive energy dissipator. The system analysis is accomplished through a digital solution of the equations of motion which describe the orientation of the spacecraft in orbit. Flight performance is obtained by an onboard attitude measuring system which determines the orientation of the satellite-sun line and magnetic field vector in the satellite reference system. A comparison of the theoretical and measured orientation of the spacecraft concludes the paper. (Author).

Book Low Earth Orbit Satellite Design

Download or read book Low Earth Orbit Satellite Design written by George Sebestyen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, the number of satellites being built and launched into Earth’s orbit has grown immensely, alongside the field of space engineering itself. This book offers an in-depth guide to engineers and professionals seeking to understand the technologies behind Low Earth Orbit satellites. With access to special spreadsheets that provide the key equations and relationships needed for mastering spacecraft design, this book gives the growing crop of space engineers and professionals the tools and resources they need to prepare their own LEO satellite designs, which is especially useful for designers of small satellites such as those launched by universities. Each chapter breaks down the various mathematics and principles underlying current spacecraft software and hardware designs.
