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.

Vision-aided landing for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle Esin, Engin; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) The aim of this thesis is to design an autoland system for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to make auto landing by using position information calculated by image processing algorithms. With this ability, even if GPS is not available to be used, UAV still could make a safe automatic landing. Landing autopilot is aimed to keep UAV on a straight line with a constant flight path angle. Therefore, landing autopilot and computer vision methods are studied within the scope of this thesis. Also, to test de...
GPS-based real-time orbit determination of artificial satellites using kalman, particle, unscented kalman and H-infinity filters Erdoğan, Eren; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011) Nowadays, Global Positioning System (GPS) which provide global coverage, continuous tracking capability and high accuracy has been preferred as the primary tracking system for onboard real-time precision orbit determination of Low Earth Orbiters (LEO). In this work, real-time orbit determination algorithms are established on the basis of extended Kalman, unscented Kalman, regularized particle, extended Kalman particle and extended H-infinity filters. Particularly, particle filters which have not been applie...
Quantifying snow water equivalent using terrestrial ground penetrating radar and unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry Yildiz, Semih; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Binley, Andrew (2021-04-01) This study demonstrates the potential value of a combined unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Photogrammetry and ground penetrating radar (GPR) approach to map snow water equivalent (SWE) over large scales. SWE estimation requires two different physical parameters (snow depth and density), which are currently difficult to measure with the spatial and temporal resolution desired for basin-wide studies. UAV photogrammetry can provide very high-resolution spatially continuous snow depths (SD) at the basin scale, but...
Optical system design of direct detection short-pulsed laser proximity sensor Korkmaz, Emrah; Yerci, Selçuk; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) In this study, we designed a Laser Proximity Sensor system that measures the distance by analyzing the echo signal reflected from object using time-of-flight principle. The sensor makes a direct-detection using a short-pulsed laser and is capable of detecting objects and measuring distances in a range between 0.5 m and 10 m far from the system. Reflectivities of objects are assumed to lie between 20% and 90% and obeying to Lambertian BSDF (Bi-Directional Scatter Distribution Function). A mathematical model ...
Multi-fidelity aerodynamic dataset generation of a fighter aircraft Kurt, Huseyin Burak; Millidere, Murat; Gomec, Fazıl Selcuk; Uğur, Ömür (2021-01-01) High-fidelity aerodynamic dataset generation is one of the most significant components of the aircraft flight simulation, and, it is a time consuming and costly process. Data fusion techniques suggest that, instead of using high fidelity data for entire aerodynamic dataset, an incorporating combination of high-fidelity and low-fidelity data is a more cost-effective one. The objective of data fusion is to obtain high-fidelity dataset accuracy by combining less amount of high-fidelity dataset and more amount ...
