Attitude control plays an important role in low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Agility of such systems are quite crucial and degree of agility can be determined by the help of the maneuver capability of actuators. Typical actuating systems in a low-earth orbit satellite are Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMG), and the electric motor type used in such systems is the brushless DC motor. In this study, an outer-rotor design of permanent magnet brushless DC motor to be used in a satellite application is investigated and, the main characteristics and performance parameters such as torque per unit weight, torque per unit volume, inertia contribution and power efficiency are discussed. This design is compared with various designs in a finite-element analysis environment. In conclusion, the overall performance of the motor is handled and distinct design advantages are stated.

Nonlinear controller designs for a reaction wheel actuated observatory satellite Doruk, Reşat Özgür; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this research, nonlinear attitude controllers are designed for a low earth orbit satellite intended to be used in observatory missions. The attitude is represented by the Modified Rodriguez Parameters (MRP) which is a minimal representation providing a fully invertible kinematics. As a difference from the classical satellite models existent in the literature, the model of this work incorporates the dynamics of the reaction wheel (actuator) including a brushless dc motor which is armature controlled. The ...
A Control moment gyroscope based on rotational vibrations, dynamic model and experimentation Arberkli, Ferhat; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Satellite attitude determination and control system is one of the main subsystems of a spacecraft. Within this domain, there are several types of actuators; such as reaction wheels, control moment gyroscopes (CMG), propulsion systems and magnetic torque rods. All of them are common and currently being used on modern satellites and space stations depending on the application. Conventional reaction wheel and CMG operation are based on the continuous rotation of their rotor mass to exchange angular momentum be...
Radiation environment predictions for the IMECE satellite and G4Beamline simulations for the METU-DBL Project Yiğitoğlu, Merve; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Department of Physics (2017) IMECE Satellite will be an Earth observation satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) planned for launch after 2020. Electronic components of the IMECE Satellite will be exposed to a radiation environment in its orbit in space which consists mostly of relativistic charged particles. This radiation environment which can affect the performance and reliability of sensitive materials and electronics is studied using the SPENVIS program. After simulating the space radiation environment, sensitive electronic components...
Forecasting of ionospheric electron density trough for characterization of aerospace medium Kocabaş, Zeynep; Tulunay, Yurdanur; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) Modeling the ionosphere, where the effects of solar dynamo becomes more effective to space based and ground borne activities, has an undeniable importance for telecommunication and navigation purposes. Mid-latitude electron density trough is an interesting phenomenon in characterizing the behavior of the ionosphere, especially during disturbed conditions. Modeling the mid-latitude electron density trough is a very popular research subject which has been studied by several researchers until now. In this work...
Su2 real gas models’ performance predictions on a cold gas thruster Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2021-04-01) Soğuk gaz itki sistemleri 1960’lı yıllardan bu yana özellikle uyduların yörünge kontrolünde tercih edilen sistemler olmuşlardır.Yakıt tankındaki yüksek basıncın görev süresince azalması nedeniyle, tank içindeki yakıtta oldukça düşük sıcaklıklar gözlenmektedir. Ayrıca itici lülesinin çıkışında da, vakuma yakın basınçlara genleşen yakıtın sıcaklığı oldukça düşmektedir. Bu koşullar altında, itki sisteminin performansının tasarım sürecinde gerçekçi olarak tahmin edilebilmesi için, açık kaynaklı, sıkıştırıla...
