Earth Observation (EO) missions are characterized by high pointing performance. Also, spacecraft payloads are becoming more capable, demanding more power (and solar array area). This additional array area including its structural flexibilities has to be taken into account in the modeling of satellite dynamics, as well as disturbances and the components of attitude control system. A modeling task is undertaken to accurately represent the satellite and its components in the simulation environment. The pointing performance metrics are defined and implemented in the simulation loop as a part of this task. The effect of solar array configuration on the pointing performance is investigated.

POINTING PERFORMANCE CONTROL OF A SPACECRAFT CAMERA USING PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATORS Kayastha, Sharmila; Tekinalp, Ozan; Ozgoren, Kemal (2010-02-18) A control system is designed to improve the pointing performance of a large Earth observation camera carried by a spacecraft. The spacecraft camera is mounted to the spacecraft thorough active truss members. The control system uses a cluster of reaction wheels together with piezoelectric struts. The improvement in the pointing performance using this dual actuator system is demonstrated through simulations.
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 ...
Anomaly Detection and Activity Perception Using Covariance Descriptor for Trajectories Ergezer, Hamza; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-10-16) In this work, we study the problems of anomaly detection and activity perception through the trajectories of objects in crowded scenes. For this purpose, we propose a novel representation for trajectories via covariance features. Representing trajectories via feature covariance matrices enables us to calculate the distance between the trajectories of different lengths. After setting this proposed representation and calculation of distances between trajectories, anomaly detection is achieved by sparse repres...
Leo satellites : dynamic modelling, simulations and some nonlinear attitude control techniques Karataş, Soner; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis nonlinear control method techniques are investigated to control the attitude of Low Earth Orbit satellites. Nonlinear control methods are compared with linear control methods. Simulations are done using Matlab and Simulink software and BILSAT-1 parameters are used in the simulations. Reaction wheels are used as the actuator.
Near Real Time Orbit Detemination of BILSAT-1 Erdogan, Eren; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (2009-06-13) Reduced dynamic models combined with GPSObservations on board the satellites within an extended Kalman Filtering algorithm increases the accuracy of near real time orbit determination. Gravity model as the main force and numerical integration methods are the key concepts in the GPS based reduced dynamic orbit determination. EGM 2008 Earth Gravity Model represented by U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) EGM Development Group offers a new model for the determination of gravity accelerations. S...
