This paper describes a monocular vision-based formation flight technology using two fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles. To measuring relative position and attitude of a leader aircraft, a monocular camera installed in the front of the follower aircraft captures an image of the leader, and position and attitude are measured from the image using the KLT feature point tracker and POSIT algorithm. To verify the feasibility of this vision processing algorithm, a field test was performed using two light sports aircraft, and our experimental results show that the proposed monocular vision-based measurement algorithm is feasible. Performance verification for the proposed formation flight technology was carried out using the X-Plane flight simulator. The formation flight simulation system consists of two PCs playing the role of leader and follower. When the leader flies by the command of user, the follower aircraft tracks the leader by designed guidance and a PI control law, and all the information about leader was measured using monocular vision. This simulation shows that guidance using relative attitude information tracks the leader aircraft better than not using attitude information. This simulation shows absolute average errors for the relative position as follows: X-axis: 2.88 m, Y-axis: 2.09 m, and Z-axis: 0.44 m.

We have developed satellite devices for fine attitude control of the Science & Technology Satellite-2 (STSAT-2) scheduled to be launched in 2007. The analog sun sensors which have been continuously developed since the 1990s are not adequate for satellites which require fine attitude control system. From the mission requirements of STSAT-2, a compact, fast and fine digital sensor was proposed. The test of the fine attitude determination for the pitch and roll axis, though the main mission of STSAT-2, will be performed by the newly developed FDSS. The FDSS use a CMOS image sensor and has an accuracy of less than 0.01degrees, an update rate of 20Hz and a weight of less than 800g. A pinhole-type aperture is substituted for the optical lens to minimize the weight while maintaining sensor accuracy by a rigorous centroid algorithm. The target process speed is obtained by utilizing the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in acquiring images from the CMOS sensor, and storing and processing the data. This paper also describes the analysis of the optical performance for the proper aperture selection and the most effective centroid algorithm.

Ascent trajectory optimization and optimal explicit guidance problems for a satellite launch vehicle in a 2-dimensional pitch plane are studied. The trajectory optimization problem with boundary conditions is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem by parameterizing the pitch attitude control variable, and is solved by using the SQP algorithm. The flight constraints such as gravity-turn are imposed. An optimal explicit guidance algorithm in the exoatmospheric phase is also presented, the guidance algorithm provides steering command and time-to-go value directly using the current states of the vehicle and the desired orbit insertion conditions. To verify the optimality and accuracy of the algorithm simulations are performed.

In this paper, we propose angular rate computation algorithm using GPS carrier phase. A direct angylar rate masurement has not previously been available form GRS, although its availability is highly desirable for use in state feedback control. So we propose angular rate computationalgorithm which derive angular rate from the velocity of differentiated carrier phase og GPS. The proposed algorithm contains attitude determination using double-differentiated carrier phase and 2 baseline configuration whcih provide more practical applications than 3 baseline.

The goal of this paper is to develop an on-board controller for a model helicopter's hovering attitude control, using i8096 one-chip microcontroller. Required controller algorithm is programmed in ASM-96 assembly language and downloaded into an i8096 microcontroller. The performance of hovering flight using this system is verified by experiments with the model helicopter mounted on an instrumented flight stand where 3 potentiometers and an optical proximity sensor measure te attitude and main rotor speed of the helicopter.

본 논문에서는 저가의 MEMS 관성 센서와 지자기 센서를 이용하여 자세 정보를 제공받는 자세측정장치(ARHS)를 구현하였다. 저가형 IMU센서와 MCU를 이용하여 운동 자세각을 계산하는 DCM 알고리즘을 설계하고, 3축짐벌에 장착하여 연산결과의 정확도를 측정하였다. DCM 알고리즘을 이용 연산된 자세각의 정확도는 roll 및 pitch에 대하여 약 1.1%로 나타났으며, yaw각의 경우는 3.7%로 나타났다. Yaw 각의 경우에는 스텝핑 모터를 구동하는 실험환경에 따른 교란의 영향으로 그 오차가 상대적으로 크게 나타난 것으로 평가되었다. 짐벌 실험장치를 이용한 센서의 검증에서 더욱 정밀한 실험을 위해서는 주변 환경 요인에 대한 제어가 요구될 것으로 보이며, 실험장치의 스테핑 모터 구동 시 발생하는 진동 및 자기장의 영향과 실험 장치의 금속성 구조물의 영향으로 생각되는 센서 데이터의 오차 및 불안정 상태를 차단할 수 있는 장치의 보완이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 지자기 센서의 경우 좁은 범위의 측정에 추가하여 넓은 범위의 측정도 보완되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

지구의 남극과 북극 주위를 저고도로 돌고 있는 소형 과학위성의 자세 조정을 위해 지구자기장을 이용하였다. 이것을 위해 소형 과학위성의 Telemetry 자료를 분석하였다. 위성에 장치된 3축 magnetometer에서 자기장 성분의 크기와 변동량을 측정하여 위성의 회전상태를 알아내는 방법이 제시되었다. 위성이 회전축에 대하여 대칭형인 경우 특정한 위치에서의 자세판단이 가능하다. 현재 자세와 원하는 자세를 비교했을 때 나타나는 차이를 각 축에 대한 회전속도의 조절로 제거할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 여기에서는 자세 측정으로부터 얻은 자료를 가지고 magnetorquer에 공급되어야 할 전류의 크기(혹은 유지시간)를 계산하는 기본 알고리즘을 연구하였고 직접 프로그램으로 작성해서 수행시켜 보았다. 이러한 자세제어 방법은 위성이 초기 tumbling 운동을 할 때와 Gravity gradient boom에 의한 수동제어가 이루어진 후에 적용할 수 있다.

Spacecraft attitude estimation using the nonlinear unscented filter is addressed to fully utilize capabilities of the unscented transformation. To release significant computational load, an efficient technique is proposed by reasonably removing correlation between random variables. This modification introduces considerable reduction of sigma points and computational burden in matrix square-root calculation for most nonlinear systems. Unscented filter technique makes use of a set of sample points to predict mean and covariance. The general QUEST(QUaternion ESTimator) algorithm preserves explicitly the quaternion normalization, whereas extended Kalman filter(EKF) implicitly obeys the constraint. For spacecraft attitude estimation based on quaternion, an approach to computing quaternion means from sampled quaternions with guarantee of the quaternion norm constraint is introduced applying a constrained optimization technique. Finally, the performance of the new approach is demonstrated using a star tracker and rate-gyro measurements.

When the liquid tanks only partially filled and under translational acceleration, large quantities of liquid move uncontrollably inside the tanks and generate the liquid sloshing effect. Liquid sloshing effect could be a severe problem in launch vehicle stability and control if the liquid modes of motion couple significantly with the launch vehicle's normal modes of motion. Several methods have been employed to reduce the effect of sloshing, such as introducing baffles inside the tanks or dividing a large tank into a number of smaller ones. These techniques, although helpful in some cases, do not succeed in canceling the sloshing effects. In this paper, An attitude controller is designed for a launch vehicle with liquid sloshing effect. Both PD controller and sloshing filter are designed for the objective. PD gains and design parameters are determined by optimal algorithm. The performance of the attitude controller is evaluated via computer simulations.
