In this paper, were developed the 3 axes attitude control sensor system to control and monitoring the moving object. The proposed sensor system has been studied in Japan, America for a year ago. But it is high expensive and has a difficulty in application. To overcome these problems, proposed the 3 axes attitude control sensor system is low cost and easily applied. Proposed sensor system is equipped with the 3 gyro sensors, 2 tilt sensors and 3 MR sensors using 80C51 microprocessor for signal processing. It's output value transmit at long distance using RS232 serial communication protocol. We expect this system shall have a good performances in many applications of control and monitoring the moving object.

In this study the attitude control of the KOREASAT is investigated. The KOREASAT is a geostationary satellite and its 3 attitude angles, namely, roll, pitch and yaw angles, are stabilized by using the 3-axis stabilization technique. In the pitch control loop, the pitch attitude angle received from the earth sensor is processed in the attitude processing electronics by using PI type control logic, and the control command is sent to the momentum wheel assembly to generate the control torque by varying the wheel rate. The roll/yaw attitude control is performed by activating a magnetic torquer or by firing appropriate thrusters. The magnetic torquer interacts with the earth magnetic field to produce the control torque, and the thrusters are used to control the larger roll attitude errors. In this study dynamic modelling of the satellite is performed. And the earth sensor, the momentum wheel, and the magnetic torquer are mathematically modelled. The 3-axis attitude control logic is implemented to make the closed-loop system and simulations are carried out to verify the implemented control laws.

We present 3-axis stabilized spacecraft attitude determination algorithm using the magnetometer. The magnetometer has been used as a reliable, light-weight and inexpensive sensor in attitude determination and reaction wheel momentum dumping system. Recent studies have attempted to use the magnetometer when other attitude sensor, such as star tracker, fails. The differences between the measured and computed the Earth's magnetic field components are spacecraft attitude errors. In this paper, we propose extended Kalman filter(EKF) to determine spacecraft attitude with the magnetometer data and gyro-measured body rates. We develop and simulate this algorithm using MATLAB/SIMULINK. This algorithm can be used as a backup attitude determination system.

This paper presents a navigation error compensation scheme for Strap-Down Inertial Navigation System(SDINS) using electro-optical sensor. The proposed scheme uses the position or the attitude information from the sensor. For each case, Kalman filter model is derived and implemented. To show the effectiveness of the present compensation scheme, computer simulations have been carried out resulting in the boundedness of position and attitude errors.

In this paper we suggest an improvement upon the previous method of estimating a body's attitude. This paper presents a method that overcomes the shortcomings of previous studies. Applying the method of separating the acceleration of gravity component from the accelerometer's output improves the performance of the attitude estimation and extends the scope. In order to apply the method of the attitude estimation in an actively moving body, a new acceleration value containing the acceleration of gravity is calculated. This paper also proposes the method which minimizes the estimation error in estimating the moving body's attitude which is changing rapidly. Finally, this paper suggests a method that detects the gyroscope's drift and compensates for this drift using accelerometer. Applying the method improves the performance of the attitude estimation.

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.

In this paper, a new fault detection and isolation algorithm fur inertial sensor system is proposed. To identify the inertial sensor fault, single antenna GPS receiver is used as an effective redundancy source. To use GPS receiver as redundancy for the inertial sensors, the algorithm to estimate the attitude and acceleration using single antenna GPS receiver is adopted. By using Doppler shift of carrier phase signal and kinetic characteristics of aircraft, attitude information of aircraft can be obtained at the coordinated flight condition. Based on this idea, fault diagnosis algorithm for inertial sensors using single antenna GPS based attitude is proposed. For more effective FDI, decision variables considering the aircraft maneuver are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the numerical simulations.

The attitude dynamics of KITSAT-1 are modeled including the gravity gradient stabilization method. We define the operation scenario during the initial attitude stabilization period by means of a magnetorquering control algorithm. The required constraints for the gravity gradient boom deployment are also examined. Attitude dynamics model and control laws are verified by analyzing in-orbit attitude sensor telemetry data.

This paper proposes a new multi-filtered inertial navigation system to estimate the attitude and position of moving objects. This system has two states, the one is attitude state and the other is position/velocity state. For compensating IMU sensor errors, each of the two states uses a different filter: the attitude state uses the EKF and the position state uses the UPF. The fast and precise characteristics of the EKF have been properly utilized for the attitude estimation, while superior dynamic characteristics of the UPF have been fully adopted for the position estimation. The combination of these two filters in an inertial navigation system improves the system performance to be faster and more accurate. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of this approach comparing to the conventional ones.

In this paper, an efficient attitude determination algorithm based on the Kalman Filter which combines earth/sun sensor data with gyro data in a mutually compensating manner is presented. Quaternion is used as the attitude state to save computation time and to prevent the gimbal-lock situation associated with Euler angles. Gyro data allows the use of the kinematic equation instead of space vehicle's dynamic equation which is usually based on approximation of the actual dynamics and inaccurate torque information. The gyro data are used to propagate the attitude through kinematic equation and the earth/sun sensor data are used to update the attitude and estimate the gyro bias. Simulation results for the KOMPSAT attitude determination system are presented.
