Target capture is a fundamental and essential task of space robots for on-orbit servicing in
the future. Accordingly, it is important to study the method for space robot stabilization after …

TODAY'S small satellites (less than 500 kg in mass) are increasingly considered for large
satellite missions such as precision Earth imaging and Space Radar [1–3]. Difficult hurdles …

The development process for spacecraft control systems relies heavily on modelling and
simulation tools for spacecraft dynamics. For this reason, there is an increasing need for …

SERVING purposes ranging from communication to navigation and meteorology, spacecraft
require advanced technologies and attitude-tracking maneuvers to successfully accomplish …

An optimal nonlinear feedback control law with asymptotic stabilization is proposed for the
satellite attitude tracking problem. With regard to the large angle or high angular rate task …

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 …

In this paper, a general recursive formulation of equations of motion is presented for open-
loop gyroelastic multibody systems. The gyroelastic multibody system is defined as a …

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 …

Abstract The Integrated Magnetically Suspended Inertia Actuator (IMSIA), composed of three
orthogonal fixed Magnetically Suspended Flywheels (MSFWs) and a Double Gimbal …

In this paper, the dynamical model in a matrix second-order nonlinear form with respect to
the quaternion coordinates is firstly established for the attitude system of a satellite, which is …
