CMG(Control Momentum Gyro) is a control device being used for spacecraft attitude control constructing relatively large amount of torque compared to conventional body-fixed reaction wheels. The CMG produces gyroscopic control torque by continuously varying the angular momentum vector direction with respect to the spacecraft body. The VSCMG(Variable Speed Control Momentum Gyro) has favorable advantages with variable speed to lead to better control authority as well as singularity avoidance capability. Attitude dynamics with a VSCMG mounted on a two-axis gimbal system are derived in this study. The dynamic equation may be considered as an extension of the single-axis counterpart. Also, a feedback control law design is addressed in conjunction with the dynamic equations of motion.

네 개의 반작용휠과 두 개의 제어모멘트자이로를 이용하여 2축 고기동을 포함한 3축 자세제어방법을 연구하였다. 두 개의 제어모멘트자이로 때문에 발생하는 특이점에 대해 살펴보고 특이점을 탈출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 결과를 토대로 고기동을 위한 구동기 제어방법을 제안하였다. 아울러 자세제어 전후의 반작용휠과 제어모멘트자이로의 모멘텀이 유지되도록 하는 구동기 모멘텀 관리방법도 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 설계된 제어기법이 위성의 3축 제어 및 2축에 대한 고기동을 달성하며 구동기의 모멘텀도 보전하는 것을 확인하였다.

위성기술의 비약적 발달에 따라서 설계 및 제작에 소용되는 비용은 저렴하지만 신뢰도가 높은 인공위성 자세제어 시스템 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해 반작용휠에 의한 모멘텀 바이어스 벡터가 임의의 방향(태양 방향)을 지향하고 안정화되는 위성시스템을 제시하였다. 위성 시스템에서 고장 가능성이 가장 적은 자기장 센서, 저정밀 태양센서 및 자기토커를 센서와 구동기로 사용하였으며, 고전적 선형 제어방법에 의해 2축 제어하는 제어시스템 설계방법을 제시하였다. 제어기는 PD 형태의 간단한 제어기가 사용되었고, 선형화된 위성시스템에 대한 PD 제어기 설계방법이 적절한 가정과 함께 제시되었다. 제시된 제어기 설계방법에 의해 설계된 폐루프 시스템의 장기 안정성 검증을 위해서 비선형 시뮬레이션 방법을 사용하였다.

This paper deals with the attitude control of an underactuated spacecraft that has fewer than three actuators. Even though such spacecrafts are known as uncontrollable, restricted missions are possible with controlling two-axis attitude angles. A variable speed control moment gyroscope is considered as an actuator. It is a kind of momentum exchange device and it shows highly nonlinear dynamical properties. Speed commands are generated by kinematic equations represented by Euler angles. A control law, that is designed to make a spacecraft follow the speed commands, is derived by the backstepping method. Angular speeds are estimated from the attitude measurements. Several estimation methods have been compared.

For the attitude control of spacecraft, two variable-speed control moment gyros are proposed as main actuators in the article. Since a variable-speed control moment gyro (VSCMG) makes two control torques (gyroscopic torque and reaction torque), two VSCMGs are sufficient for controlling 3-axes attitude. Additionally, there are no singular conditions for two non-parallel VSCMGs. Since gyroscopic torque is usually much greater than reaction torque, the control performances of approximately 3 axes may not be the same. However, several missions can be accomplished by controlling two axes. For such missions, a selective axes control method is proposed. The method selects two axes for a certain task and controls the attitude of the selected axes. For the remaining axis, angular speed is controlled for stabilization. A hardware-in-the-loop simulation has been used to test VSCMG modules and to verify the proposed method. Two VSCMGs can be alternative actuators for small satellites.

This paper presents the on-board attitude determination algorithm for LEO (Low Earth Orbit) three-axis stabilized spacecraft. Two advanced star trackers and a three-axis Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) are assumed to be attitude sensors. The gyro in the IRU provides a direct measurement of the attitude rates. However, the attitude estimation error increases with time due to the gyro drift and noise. An update filter with measurements of star trackers and/or sun sensor is designed to update these gyro drift bias and to compensate the attitude error. Kalman Filter is adapted for the on-board update filter algorithm. Simulation results will be presented to investigate the attitude pointing performance.

CNUSAIL-1, to be launched into low-earth orbit, is a cubesat-class satellite equipped with a $2m{\times}2m$ solar sail. One of CNUSAIL's missions is to deploy its solar sail system, thereby deorbiting the satellite, at the end of the satellite's life. This paper presents the design results of the attitude control system for CNUSAIL-1, which maintains the normal vector of the sail by a 3-axis active attitude stabilization approach. The normal vector can be aligned in two orientations: i) along the anti-nadir direction, which minimizes the aerodynamic drag during the nadir-pointing mode, or ii) along the satellite velocity vector, which maximizes the drag during the deorbiting mode. The attitude control system also includes a B-dot controller for detumbling and an eigen-axis maneuver algorithm. The actuators for the attitude control are magnetic torquers and reaction wheels. The feasibility and performance of the design are verified in high-fidelity nonlinear simulations.

This paper is mainly concerned with the vision-based attitude stabilization of a quad-rotor UAV. The methods for attitude control rely on computing the roll and pitch angles of the vehicle from a two-camera vision system. One camera is attached to the body-fixed x-axis and the other to the body-fixed y-axis. The attitude computation for the quad-rotor UAV is performed by image processing consisting of Canny edge and Hough line detection. A proportional and integral controller is employed for the attitude hold autopilot. In this paper, the quad-rotor UAV is modeled by 6-DOF nonlinear equations of motion that includes rotor aerodynamics with blade element theory. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through 3D environmental numerical simulations.

This paper describes an implementation of a radiocontrolled airplane attitude control. To obtain the model of motion, stabilizing and control coefficients, we derive the related paramaters from aerodynamics, propulsion, gravity, wind correction and atmosphere. In this model, after separating longitudinal axis and lateral axis, we can get longitudinal axis model and lateral axis model by using actuator and dynamic characteristics of engine. From these two models, we experiment two divided parts-linear part, and nonlinear part.

CMG(Control Momentum Gyro) 는 일반적으로 동체에 부착된 반작용휠에 비해 큰 토크의 크기를 발생시켜 인공위성의 자세제어에 이용되는 장치이다. CMG는 휠의 각 운동량벡터의 방향을 위성체의 동체축에 대하여 연속적으로 변화시킴으로써 자이로스코픽 토크를 발생하게 된다. 가변속도 CMG는 휠의 속도도 함께 변화시킴으로써 보다 다양한 제어 명령을 생성할 수 있게 되고 또한 특이(Singularity) 조건을 피하는데 장점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2축의 김발에 장착된 가변속도 CMG를 이용한 위성체의 자세 동역학 방적식을 유도하기로 한다. 이러한 운동방정식은 기존의 1축 김벌 시스템의 경우를 확장한 것이다. 또한 유도된 운동방정식을 활용하여 피드백 자세기동 제어 법칙을 제안하기로 한다.
