Cluster flight algorithms enable the operation of multiple satellites within given distance
bounds for long periods of time. Synchronizing the states of the satellites in the cluster is …

In this paper, a simple, accurate, and quick approach for modeling and controlling a large
flexible satellite is presented. A satellite including three reaction wheels and two large …

Pointing accuracy is a key requirement in communication satellites and Earth observation
missions. Attitude control systems must guarantee tracking of the reference attitude and …

Plusieurs missions internationales prévues pour les années 2011-2013 ont pour objectif le
retour d'échantillons de la planète Mars. Ces missions requièrent un atterrissage précis sur …

This article describes the details of an advanced Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics Simulator
(SADS) at the Space Research Laboratory (SRL) at the KN Toosi University of Technology …

ALL-ELECTRIC spacecraft, using electric propulsion (EP) systems for attitude control, have
been studied since the early 1960s. The potential application of a Teflon pulsed plasma …

IN this thesis, we are concerned with the stability and performance anal-ysis of feedback
interconnections comprising a linear (time-invariant) system and an uncertain component …

The pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) is a novel vibration control device that can
effectively mitigate the undesired vibration of subsea pipeline structures. Previous studies …

Abstract The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment mission is a suborbital mission
of flying Crew Module (CM) as the payload in a parent launch vehicle. After separation from …

An attitude control system using reaction thrusters for the upper stage of a launch vehicle is
considered. The thruster configuration (position and direction) determines control system …
