State dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) control technique has been widely used in the control society. Although it solves nonlinear optimal control problems, which minimizes state error and control efforts simultaneously, it has drawbacks when it is to be applied to the real time systems in that it requires much computational efforts. So the real time system whose computational ability is limited (for example, satellites) cannot afford to use SDRE controller. To solve this problem, a hybrid controller which is based on MSDRE (Modified SDRE) and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) has been proposed by Abdelrahman et al. (2010). We propose a hybrid controller based on SDRE and ANFIS, and apply the hybrid controller to the hardware attitude simulator to perform a HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) simulation. Through HIL simulation, it is demonstrated that the hybrid controller satisfies the control requirement and the computation load is reduced significantly. In addition, the effects of statistical properties of the ANFIS training data to the performance of the ANFIS controller have been analyzed.

This study addresses the effectiveness of TEC(Thermoelectric cooler) application for spacecraft thermal control. The required radiator area and power consumption characteristics of active thermal control using TEC are compared with the passive control at BOL and EOL through unsteady thermal analyses by calculating external heat fluxes. When the component operating temperature is low enough in TEC active control, the required radiator area can be smaller than the passive thermal control. TEC also needs less power consumption than the passive control under the condition that the temperature of cooling pars is low enough and/or the design temperature margin of the components is narrow enough.

This work deals with an explicit guidance and control architecture for autonomous lunar ascent and orbit injection, i.e., the locally-flat near-optimal guidance, accompanied by nonlinear reduced-attitude control. This is a new explicit guidance scheme, based on the local projection of the position and velocity variables, in conjunction with the real-time solution of the associated minimum-time problem. A recently-introduced quaternion-based reduced-attitude control algorithm, which enjoys quasi-global stability properties, is employed to drive the longitudinal axis of the ascent vehicle toward the desired direction. Actuation, based on thrust vectoring, is modeled as well. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations prove the effectiveness of the guidance, control, and actuation architecture proposed in this study for precise lunar orbit insertion, in the presence of nonnominal flight conditions.

In this article, we discuss steering laws for control moment gyro cluster, which have been studied on the project, "Development of control moment gyro engineering model for middle-size spacecraft", supported by Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Korea. We compare performance of MP, SR, SR Escape/Avoidance steering laws and check each law's performance by simulations and experiments.

In this paper, roll/yaw attitude control of spacecraft using a double gimbaled wheel is discussed with two feedback controllers designed. One is a PD controller with no phase difference between roll and yaw control input. The other is a PD controller with a phase lag compensator about the yaw control input. The phase lag compensator is designed as a first order system and a lag parameter is designed for the yaw angle control. There are two case simulations for each controller ; constant disturbance torques and initial errors of nutation at motion. We obtain the results through simulations that steady-state error and rising time of yaw angle are determined by the compensator. Simulation parameters used in this study are the values of KOREASAT F1.

This paper presents the overall design, manufacture, and test result of the high capacity (more than 150 Am^2) magnetic torquer for the use of satellite control. To provide an electrical current to the magnetic torquer, the driving electronics is also constructed. The integration and test of the magnetic torquer and its driving electronics are performed via the magnetic field measurement according to the distance and the magnetic torque measurement with torque-meter. To compare the performance obtained from the test results we also perform computer simulation with three-dimensional model.

This paper present an attitude control using quaternions as feedback attitude errors. The Euler's eigenaxis rotation provides the shortest angular path between two attitudes. This eigenaxis rotation can be achieved by using quaternions since quaternions are related with the eigenaxis. The suggested controller uses error quaternions and body angular rates and generates a decoupling control torque that counteracts the natural gyroscopic coupling torque. The momentum dumping strategy using the earth magnetic field is also applied in this paper to unload the angular momentum of the reaction wheels used in the attitude control.

There is an X-band transmission system in KOMPSAT-2 in order to downlink the acquired image data in high speed. KOMPSAT-2 employs a steerable high gain X-band antenna for that purpose. During the ground test, the X-band RF radiation is so strong that it has to be controlled for safety, while spacecraft needs to keep flight configuration. Also in a launch site of which all test facilities are the subjects of strict radiation control, the antenna system should be tested again without any change in the configuration. To limit the actual radiation of RF power, an antenna hat was manufactured and thoroughly tested to demonstrate the spacecraft safety when using it.

Space launch vehicles mainly use the liquid-propellant propulsion system which has easy thrust control ability and high specific impulse for that the payload like satellite and spacecraft should be entered into exact orbit. However, the liquid-propellant propulsion system is very difficult to develop because it is more complicate than the solid rocket propulsion system and demands very high technology. In space launch vehicle developing procedure the system design level is very important thing to reduce cost, shorten schedule, and improve the performance. The system design process was introduced for selecting the best liquid-propellant propulsion system on this paper.
