Abstract

The angular motion of a mockup of a satellite’s attitude control system on an air bearing is considered. The general purpose of the work is to verify the one-axis magnetic attitude control algorithm. This control is designed to maintain the satellite’s solar panels attitude towards the Sun. Specific mockup motion patterns are found. These patterns allow comparing the ground-based control performance results and its expected inflight operation. Asymptotically stable precession and near planar motion are outlined. Mathematical modelling is performed for these patterns. Their applicability for the laboratory experiments is shown.

使用单轴电磁姿态控制在空气轴承上模拟卫星样机的角运动

摘要

考虑了在空气轴承上的卫星姿态控制系统样机的角运动。这项工作的一般目的是验证单轴磁性姿态控制算法。此控件旨在保持卫星的太阳能电池板相对于太阳的姿态。找到了特定的模型运动模式。这些模式允许比较基于地面的控制性能结果及其预期的飞行操作。概述了渐近稳定的进动和近平面运动。对这些模式进行数学建模。显示了它们在实验室实验中的适用性。
