A new era of space systems is initiated with the development of reusable rocket systems. The experience gained from interplanetary landing missions shed a light upon the design of reusable rocket stages with vertical precision landing capabilities. For two decades, the descent guidance problem of interplanetary landers and reusable rocket stages are modeled and handled as computational optimal control problems which are usually solved as parametric optimization problems. Nevertheless, the precision of descent guidance highly relies on the robustness of the used solution procedure against unexpected subsystem faults occurring in sensors, thrusters and so on. In many engineering applications, particularly in descent guidance problems, the subsystem faults are inevitable due to drastically changing environments and subjecting to physical stress. There are plenty of precautions used for fault detection in such missions, however, very few of them consist of approximating the faults or, in control theoretic terms, the uncertainties in an online manner. On the other hand, there exists a well-established literature of adaptive control theory which particularly focuses on the estimation and approximation of physical uncertainties. In this thesis, the descent guidance problem of reusable rocket stages is solved via receding horizon optimal control strategy known as model predictive control in the presence of various physical uncertainty factors such as sensor faults, thruster losses and modelling errors. First, the formulation of model predictive control is explained with the various aspects such as estimation-based approach and feasibility issues. As a preliminary to estimation-based model predictive control, the globally adopted methods of Kalman filtering and the theory of quadratic programming are presented as the state estimator and the optimization solver used, respectively. Then, the state estimator used in optimal control formulation is redesigned to be adaptive to the disruptive effects of uncertainties, in the sense of discrete-time model reference adaptive control. Meanwhile, the approximate functional representations of uncertainties acting on the subsystems can be obtained. In the major part of the thesis, the proposed redesign methodology on the state estimation part of optimal control is given and proven with the mathematical analysis and control theoretical perspectives. In the proposed methods, the state estimator is redesigned with a regressor structure (e.g. neural networks) that learns to mimic the physical uncertainty up to some adequacy. The online tuning law (or training) of regressor is obtained from the necessary and sufficient conditions of Lyapunov stability theory and it is shown that the proposed methods are input-to-state stable when the structure of uncertainty is known. On the other hand, it is also shown that the methods are semiglobally practically asymptotically stable in the presence of bounded approximation errors when used along the convex projections. In either case, the proposed online tuning laws consist of some particular Kalman filter terms which build a novel bridge between optimal filtering and Lyapunov-based adaptive control.

Design and manufacturing of a single langmuir probe for plasma measurements in hall effect thruster experiments
Yazıcıoğlu, Özge; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Uluşen, Demet; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
Electric propulsion is a technology which has been tested on ground and in space since 1960s. The goal of electric propulsion systems is to achieve thrust with high exhaust velocities using electricity. To date, more than 200 electric thrusters have been flown and operated successfully onboard communication satellites and deep-space scientific missions for years with zero failure rate, making the technology more attractive in recent years. Thrust, specific impulse, total efficiency and plume divergence are ...
Water dispersible acetate stabilized ruthenium(0) nanoclusters as catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of sodium borohyride
Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-02)
The development of new storage materials will facilitate the use of hydrogen as a major energy vector in near future. In the hydrogen economy, chemical hydrides such as NaBH4, KBH4, LiH, NaH have been tested as precursor materials for supplying hydrogen at ambient temperature. Among these chemical hydrides, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) provides a safe and practical mean of producing hydrogen. Sodium borohydride is stable in basic solution; however, hydrolysis generates hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitab...
Spacecraft energy storage and attitude control
Altay, A; Tekinalp, Ozan (2005-06-11)
The energy storage and attitude control technologies in spacecrafts are considered. The conventional technologies like electrochemical batteries, reaction wheels and control moment gyroscopes are compared to the promising Integrated Power and Attitude Control System with Variable Speed Control Moment Gyros (IPACS-VSCMG) technology. For this purpose, various energy storage and attitude control system conceptual designs are carried out, and the results are compared. Also given a simulation to show the effecti...
Control and guidance of a multi-mode unmanned aerial vehicle for increased versatility
Çakıcı, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
This work is an approach about producing a solution to control and guidance problem of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform, named as VTOL-FW, having vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL), fixed-wing (FW) and hybrid modes for increasing versatility of conventional types by enabling extended mission capabilities. FW UAVs provide long range with high endurance, but minimum flight speed limitation does not allow hover and VTOL. Although VTOL UAVs can hover and takeoff/land vertically, high power requirement lim...
High-voltage space tether for enhanced particle scattering in Van Allen belts
Danilov, VV; Mirnov, VV; Ucer, D (1999-01-01)
New applications of space tethers (High-Voltage Tethered Satellite System project) are discussed in relation with ideal of an active experiment in the Earth's radiation belts. Two conducting strings are supposed to be tethered between the main satellite and two small subsatellites flying through the ERB. A large potential difference similar to 1MV is applied between the tethers by means of a generator carried on the main satellite. The tethers effectively scatter the high energy particles into loss cone of ...
