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.

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...
Orbit determination strategy and verification for geosynchronous satellites
Köker, Abdulkadir; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, the batch and sequential orbit determination procedures for the geostationary satellites are presented. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the angle only and standard angle-range measurements on orbit determination accuracy. The effect of various factors on estimation accuracy such as measurement frequency, observation duration, and number of observation sites are investigated using the simulated measurement data. Estimation methods namely, nonlinear least square, extended ...
Modeling of split step parabolic wave equation using the graphics processing unit
Sekmen, Selin; Can, Tolga; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
Electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation is an important phenomenon in modeling radar or communication systems. To develop these kinds of reliable systems, the behavior of EM waves and cases that affect the propagation must be handled correctly. EM waves are strongly affected by atmospheric conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, and by global circulation patterns. When they propagate in troposphere, their energy decreases due to change in medium. Other than natural effects, buildings, non-flat...
