A novel satellite attitude actuator based on vibrating masses was previously proposed. Its governing equations were obtained and simulated. In this study, the resulting mathematical model is validated via energy as well as the conservation of angular momentum methods. Additionally, the mathematical model for the complete system was too complicated for analysis. In this work, a representative simplified set of equations describing vibrating mass control moment gyroscope (vCMG) dynamics in high fidelity are also obtained . It is shown that the simplified model may be used to simulate the complex vCMG dynamics under certain conditions.

Towards a Vibration Energy Harvesting WSN Demonstration Testbed
Baghaee, S.; Ulusan, H.; Chamanian, S.; Zorlu, O.; Külah, Haluk; Uysal-Biyikoglu, E. (2013-09-25)
This paper presents initial results toward the implementation of a wireless sensor network (WSN) demonstration testbed powered up by vibration energy, as part of the E-CROPS project. The testbed uses MicaZ Motes, supplied by AA batteries. The power drawn by Motes in different modes of operation are measured. Design details of an electromagnetic harvester, and experimental results of charging AA batteries with this harvester at 10 Hz vibration generated in the laboratory, are presented.
Design of a control moment gyroscope with outer rotor BLDC motor
İnce, Berk; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
The aim of this thesis is to design a control moment gyroscope (CMG) with outer rotor BLDC motor for medium size satellites. CMG is a device that provides high output torque to the satellite in order to maneuvering satellites rapidly. CMG is the most efficient actuator in terms of output torque capacity when it is compared with other type actuators such as the reaction wheel. The first step of the designing CMG is to determine CMG design specifications. The mass and volume specifications of the designed CMG...
A Low Complexity Two-Stage Target Detection Scheme for Resource Limited Radar Systems
Candan, Çağatay (2013-01-01)
A two-stage detector is proposed to accommodate high computational load requirements of modern radar systems. The first stage of the proposed system is a low-complexity detector that operates at an unusually high false alarm probability value around 1/10. This stage is to prescreen and eliminate some of the test cells with relatively few operations. The second stage operates only on the cells passing the prescreening stage and implements a high-complexity detector at a desired system false alarm rate. Due t...
Study on an Advanced Attitude Determination Algorithm for the ERG Spacecraft
Söken, Halil Ersin; Asamura, Kazushi; Nakamura, Yosuke; Takashima, Takeshi (null; 2017-06-07)
AXA’s Arase Spacecraft, which is formerly known as Exploration of Energization and Radiation in Geospace (ERG), was launched on 20 December 2016. The spacecraft is spin-stabilized. Its mission is exploring how relativistic electrons in the radiation belts are generated during space storms. Two on-ground attitude determination algorithms are considered for the mission: a conventional simple algorithm that inherits from old missions and an advanced algorithm that is newly designed. This paper discusses the de...
A Deep Learning Approach to Proton Background Rejection for Positron Analysis with the AMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter
Hashmani, Raheem Karim; Akbaş, Emre; Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; Department of Computer Engineering (2023-1-26)
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a high-precision particle detector onboard the International Space Station containing six different subdetectors. The Transition Radiation Detector and Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) are used to separate electrons/positrons from the abundant cosmic-ray proton background. The positron flux measured in space by AMS falls with a power law which unexpectedly softens above 25 GeV and then hardens above 280 GeV. Several theoretical models try to explain these phenomen...
