Abstract

The capabilities of using single-gimbal control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) for the attitude control of Earth remote sensing (ERS) satellites are studied. The situation of the incomplete spinning of CMGs used for controlling the angular motion of the satellite when these gyros have a different angular momentum is considered. Control algorithms that can be applied in this situation are proposed, and it is shown that they can be used to stabilize the satellite. Using simulation, it is shown that a satellite’s angular motion can be controlled by CMGs having different angular momenta.

在旋转和制动过程中使用单云台控制力矩陀螺仪控制卫星

摘要

研究了使用单控制力矩陀螺仪（CMG）进行地球遥感（ERS）卫星姿态控制的能力。考虑了当这些陀螺仪具有不同的角动量时用于控制卫星角运动的CMG旋转不完全的情况。提出了可以在这种情况下应用的控制算法，并且证明了它们可以用于稳定卫星。使用仿真表明，可以通过具有不同角动量的CMG控制卫星的角运动。
