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 between spacecraft body and their rotor body. It this thesis, vibration is proposed as a new way of actuation instead of continuous rotation. Firstly, a mathematical model of single axis vibrating CMG was developed and the possibility of useful output is investigated. Effects of system excitation parameters were analyzed and interpreted. In addition, unwanted vibrations on spacecraft due to excitation responses were canceled, and performance of the actuator was improved by finding optimum rotor geometry. Finally, two experimentation setups were designed, manufactured, tested and their results were discussed.

Satellite orbit estimation using kalman filters
İpek, Mehmet; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, satellite orbit determination problem is investigated using various types of Kalman filters based on several ground and space based measurement types. First, the performance of the Gauss' method for initial orbit determination is evaluated and the measurement time separation values required for it to give sufficiently good estimates are determined. Second, filter initialization methods based on a few measurements are proposed for angles only (AE), angles and range (AER), angles and Doppler (...
A two stage solid state power amplifier at X-band for satellite communication
Sen, Özlem; Dudak, C.; Nakiboğlu, Barış (2003-01-01)
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellites play an important role in earth observation and communication fields. Since communication with LEO has time limitation, it is important to have high data rate transmitters in addition to having properties as small volume, lightness and efficiency. In this work, an X-band (8.2 GHz) solid state power amplifier is designed with an output power of 7W, total gain of 18.0dB and bandwidth of 200MHz as a part of an onboard transmitter with data rate of 100 Mbps. The power amplifier ...
A high efficiency power amplifier at x-band for satellite communication
Sen, Ozlem; Dudak, Celal; Nakiboğlu, Barış (null; 2003-12-01)
Efficiency linearity trade off is an important criteria in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite transmitter. In this paper, two X-band power amplifiers, one class A power amplifier and one harmonically terminated class A amplifier, are designed with an output power of 7W, total gain of 18.5dB and bandwidth of 200MHz are designed and compared in terms of efficiency and linearity. With acceptable linearity, the former is expected to give 30% efficiency while the later is expected to give 50% efficiency at 8.2GHz w...
Attitude control of an earth orbiting solar sail satellite to progressively change the selected orbital element
Ataş, Ömer; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
Solar sailing is currently under investigation for space propulsion. Radiation pressure from the Sun is utilized to propel the spacecraft. This thesis examines locally optimal steering law to progressively change the selected orbital elements, without considering others, of an Earth centered Keplerian orbit of a cube satellite with solar sail. The proper attitude maneuver mechanization is proposed to harvest highest solar radiation force in the desired direction for such Earth orbiting satellites. The satel...
Vibration and acoustic numerical analysis of gregorian type communication antenna planted on communication satellite
Karaoğlu, Onur Kaan; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020)
The acoustic load during lift-off of the spacecraft rockets is one of the most destructive loads especially for the light and large space structures. This thesis mainly focuses on vibro-acoustic behavior of a large composite reflector satellite antenna. The study starts with manufacturing processes, material properties and design criteria of the antenna which is Gregorian type with two reflectors. Then, Finite Element Model (FEM) of the antenna which is prepared in HyperMesh is analyzed structurally with ca...
