Abstract Combined Energy and Attitude Control System (CEACS) reduces the size and
mass budgets of typical satellites and consequently, increases their payload capacity …

A spherical reaction wheel is a novel three-axis induction motor consisting of a spherical
rotor and electromagnets. The electromagnets allow the rotor to levitate and to rotate about …

Abstract A Combined Energy and Attitude Control System (CEACS) is a dual system in
which flywheels are used as energy storage and attitude control devices. This work is a …

Energy storage and attitude control are two distinct subsystems of the typical satellite.
Energy storage is provided using batteries and active attitude control is accomplished with …

Purpose The satellite pointing accuracy plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful satellite
mission itself. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance the attitude pointing accuracy of the …

A combined energy and attitude control system (CEACS) is a synergized system in which
flywheels are used as attitude control actuators and simultaneously as a power storage …

Two degree-of-freedom controller is designed together with its governing equations for a
spacecraft pitch attitude control. The attitude controller incorporates the Active Force Control …

Small satellites are becoming the preferred option for low-cost Earth observation missions.
However, the projected requirements have increased for the missions, which require more …
