The 2022 Conference was the 44th Annual GN&C conference with more than 230 attendees from six different countries with 44 companies and 28 universities represented. The conference presented more than 100 presentations and 16 posters across 18 topics. This year, the planning committee wanted to continue a focus on networking and collaboration hoping to inspire innovation through the intersection of diverse ideas. These proceedings present the relevant topics of the day while keeping our more popular and well-attended sessions as cornerstones from year to year. Several new topics including "Autonomous Control of Multiple Vehicles" and "Results and Experiences from OSIRIS-REx" were directly influenced by advancements in our industry. In the end, the 44th Annual GN&C conference became a timely reflection of the current state of the GN&C ins the space industry. The annual American Astronautical Society Rocky Mountain Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) Conference began 1977 as an informal exchange of ideas and reports of achievements among guidance and control specialists local to the Colorado area. Bud Gates, Don Parsons, and Bob Culp organized the first conference, and began the annual series of meetings the following winter. In March 1978, the First Annual Rocky Mountain Guidance and Control Conference met at Keystone, Colorado. It met there for eighteen years, moving to Breckenridge in 1996 where it has been for over 25 years

Download or read book Contributions to the advance of the integration density of CubeSats written by Grau, Sebastian and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates potential technologies to increase the integration density of CubeSats. Observations of the CubeSat market and missions are recorded in order to derive design criteria for high performance single unit CubeSats. A promising approach to increased integration density is relocation of the components of multiple satellite subsystems to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Eligible components are usually allocated to the communication system, the electric power system, or the attitude determination and control system. In a joint research project, development, optimization, and miniaturization of those components in order to form a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel is investigated. The author first summarizes the development work of the project partners for a picosatellite solar antenna and puts it into relation to the overall solar panel design. Advantage of using solar antennas over simple patch antennas is the reduced loss of solar cell area, and hence available electric power, that is usually accompanied by the usage of higher frequency bands for broadband payload data transmission. Magnetic attitude actuators are the backbone of CubeSat attitude control. In order to increase their performance and lower their resource consumption, numerical optimization of the commonly used three coil types is investigated by the author. This leads to the formulation of a novel optimization approach, which is better suited to real-world considerations for magnetic actuator design. Results from the application of the optimization procedure show potential for every coil type. The state of the art of a novel type of attitude control actuators, so-called fluid-dynamic actuators which are based on angular momentum exchange, is advanced by the author by introducing miniaturized 3D-printed conduits for single unit CubeSat applications. Following development and functional verification, actuators are compared to existing reaction wheel systems, which shows their superiority for agile attitude maneuvers and integration with the satellite bus. Further investigation exploits additive manufacturing technologies to create redundancy concepts using four actuators with three-dimensional conduits.Finally, development, optimization, and miniaturization of subsystem components is brought together in the design, assembly, and test of a highly integrated, multi-functional solar panel. Analysis of a single unit CubeSat design that applies different configurations of the multi-functional solar panel shows the potential for more than 50% payload mass and payload volume. This brings integration density of single unit CubeSats to a level similar to that of the larger triple unit form factors currently employed for the New Space mega-constellations. Diese Dissertation untersucht mögliche Technologien zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte von CubeSats. Beobachtungen des CubeSat-Marktes und ausgewählter Missionen werden zusammengetragen um Entwurfskriterien für hochperformante 1U CubeSats abzuleiten. Ein vielversprechender Ansatz zur Erhöhung der Integrationsdichte ist der Umzug von Komponenten verschiedener Satellitensubsysteme auf ein zu entwickelndes hochintegriertes, multifunktionales Solarpaneel. Infrage kommende Komponenten sind für gewöhnlich dem Kommunikationssystem, dem Energieversorgungssystem, oder dem Lageregelungssystem zugeordnet. In Rahmen eines gemeinschaftlichen Forschungsvorhabens wurden Entwicklung, Optimierung, und Miniaturisierung ausgewählter Komponenten eines solchen hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Paneels untersucht. Durch den Autor wird zunächst die Entwicklung einer Solarantenne für Pikosatelliten durch den Projektpartner zusammengefasst und in Zusammenhang um Entwurf des Solarpaneels gebracht. Der Vorteil einer Solarantenne gegenüber einer einfachen Patch-Antenne ist der geringere Verlust an Solarzellenfläche, und damit zur Verfügung stehender elektrischer Leistung, der üblicherweise mit der Verwendung höherer Frequenzbänder zur breitbandigen Nutzlastdatenübertragung einhergeht. Magnetische Lageregelungsaktuatoren bilden das Rückgrat der CubeSat-Lageregelung. Um deren Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen und den Ressourcenverbrauch zu verringern, wird durch den Autor die numerische Optimierung der drei gebräuchlichen Spulentypen untersucht. Dies führt zur Formulierung eines neuartigen Optimierungsansatzes welcher besser für die Anwendung realer Entwurfsprobleme geeignet ist. Die Optimierungsergebnisse zeigen ein großes Potential für die Optimierung aller betrachteter Spulentypen auf. Der Stand der Technik im Bereich neuartiger Lageregelungsaktuatoren, den sogenannten fluiddynamischen Aktuatoren die auf Drehimpulsaustausch basieren, wird durch den Autor durch die Einführung miniaturisierter 3D-gedruckter Kanäle für die Verwendung auf 1U CubeSats vorangebracht. Im Anschluss an die Entwicklung und funktionale Verifikation werden diese Aktuatoren mit existierenden Reaktionsradsystemen verglichen, was deren Überlegenheit bei agilen Lageregelungsmanövern und der Integration in den Satellitenbus aufzeigt. Weitere Untersuchungen nutzen die additiven Herstellungsverfahren zur Darstellung von redundanten Konzepten bestehend aus vier Aktuatoren mit dreidimensionalen Kanalgeometrien. Abschließend werden Entwicklung, Optimierung und Miniaturisierung der Subsystemkomponenten im Entwurf, Aufbau und Test eines hochintegrierten, multifunktionalen Seitenwandpaneels zusammengeführt. Die Analyse eines 1U CubeSat-Entwurfs unter Verwendung verschiedener Konfigurationen des multifunktionalen Solarpaneels zeigt ein Potential für jeweils mehr als 50% verfügbarer Nutzlastmasse und Nutzlastvolumen vom gesamten Satelliten. Dies hebt die Integrationsdichte von 1U CubeSats auf ein ähnliches Niveau der 3U Formfaktoren, welche gegenwärtig bei den New Space Megakonstellationen zur Anwendung kommen.

Download or read book A flexible attitude control system for three axis stabilized nanosatellites written by Gordon, Karsten and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates a new concept for the flexible design and verification of an ADCS for a nanosatellite platform. In order to investigate guidelines for the design of a flexible ADCS, observations of the satellite market and missions are recorded. Following these observations, the author formulates design criteria which serve as a reference for the conceptual design of the flexible ADCS. The research of the thesis was carried out during the development of TU Berlin's nanosatellite platform TUBiX20 and its first two missions, TechnoSat and TUBIN. TUBiX20 targets modularity, reuse and dependability as main design goals. Based on the analysis of design criteria for a flexible ADCS, these key design considerations for the TUBiX20 platform were continued for the investigations carried out in this thesis. The resulting concept implements the ADCS as a distributed system of devices complemented by a hardware-independent core application for state determination and control. Drawing on the technique of component-based software engineering, the system is partitioned into self-contained modules which implement unified interfaces. These interfaces specify the state quantity of an input or output but also its unit and coordinate system, complemented by a mathematical symbol for unambiguous documentation. The design and verification process for the TUBiX20 ADCS was also elaborated during the course of this research. The approach targets the gradual development of the subsystem from a purely virtual satellite within a closed-loop simulation to the verification of the fully integrated system on an air-bearing testbed. Finally, the concurrent realization of the investigated concept within the TechnoSat and TUBIN missions is discussed. Starting with the individual ADCS requirements, the scalability of the approach is demonstrated in three stages: from a coarse, but cost- and energy-efficient configuration to realize a technology demonstration mission with moderate requirements (TechnoSat) to a high-performance configuration to support Earth observation missions (TUBIN). Diese Dissertation untersucht ein neues Konzept zur flexiblen Entwicklung und Verifikation eines Lageregelungssystems für eine Nanosatellitenplattform. Als Grundlage für die Erarbeitung eines Leitfadens für die Entwicklung werden zunächst Beobachtung des Satellitenmarkts sowie konkreter Missionen zusammengetragen. Darauf aufbauend formuliert der Autor Entwurfskriterien für die Konzipierung eines flexiblen Lageregelungssystems. Die Dissertation wurde im Rahmen der Entwicklung der TUBiX20 Nanosatellitenplattform und ihrer ersten beiden Missionen, TechnoSat und TUBIN, an der TU Berlin durchgeführt. TUBiX20 verfolgt Modularität, Wiederverwendung und Zuverlässigkeit als Entwicklungsziele. Diese werden unter der Verwendung der vom Autor hergeleiteten Entwurfskriterien in dieser Arbeit im Kontext des Lageregelungssystems verfeinert. Das resultierende Konzept setzt dieses als verteiltes System von Geräten und einem hardware-unabhängigen Software-Kern um. Der Software-Entwurfstechnik Component-based software engineering folgend ist das System in unabhängige Module unterteilt, welche wiederum einheitliche Schnittstellen implementieren. Diese Schnittstellen spezifizieren die Zustandsgrößen für die Ein- und Ausgänge der Module inklusive Einheit, Koordinatensystem und mathematischem Symbol für eine eindeutige Darstellung. Der Entwurfs- und Verifikationsprozess für das TUBiX20 Lageregelungssystem wurde vom Autor im Rahmen der Arbeit untersucht. Hier verfolgt der Ansatz einen schrittweisen übergang von einem virtuellen Satelliten als Simulationsmodell bis hin zur Verifikation des integrierten Systems auf einem Lageregelungsteststand. Abschließend diskutiert die Arbeit die Realisierung des untersuchten Konzepts im Rahmen der Missionen TechnoSat und TUBIN. Beginnend mit den jeweiligen Anforderungen wird die Skalierbarkeit des Ansatzes in drei Stufen demonstriert: von einer groben, aber kosten- und energieeffizienten Konfiguration für eine Technologieerprobungsmission mit moderaten Anforderungen (TechnoSat) bis hin zu einer Konfiguration für hochgenaue Lageregelung als Basis für Erdbeobachtungsmissionen (TUBIN).
