Generally, the dominant attitude disturbance source for the low Earth orbit small satellites is the residual magnetic moment (RMM). The RMM should be estimated and compensated in orbit to increase the attitude estimation and control accuracy. Although the estimator is usually built with the assumption that these parameters are constant, the RMM changes with sudden shifts caused by the variations in the onboard electrical current. The estimator should quickly track these unobserved parameters in case of change and perform accurate estimation for the rest of the procedure. In this paper, we investigate applicability of the existing estimators, such as the particle filter, for the RMM estimation. We present the initial results for an extended Kalman particle filter (EKPF) based method which may be useful for improving the estimation accuracy and tracking capability. (C) 2015 The Authors.

Multiple-Model Adaptive Estimation of Time-Varying Residual Magnetic Moment for Small Satellites Söken, Halil Ersin (Springer, Cham, 2015-11-01) As the satellite size gets smaller, the residual magnetic moment (RMM) becomes the dominant attitude disturbance for the low Earth orbit satellites. Especially for advanced space missions such as astronomical observation, the RMM must be in-orbit estimated and compensated to increase the attitude pointing accuracy. Classical estimators can estimate the RMM terms accurately as long as the terms are constant. However, if there is unmodeled changes in the RMM parameters, as experienced for small ...
Development of state dependent factorized optimal control methods with application to spacecraft coulomb formations Gomroki, Mohammad Mehdi; Tekinalp, Ozan; Topputo, Francesco; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) Among spacecraft formation control techniques, Coulomb tether to control the relative distance is proposed in the literature. A Coulomb tether is similar to physical tether that uses coulomb forces to keep spacecraft at close proximity. It is indicated that a coulomb tether provides an almost a propellantless formation control. The charges loaded to the bodies, can create attractive and repulsive forces between these bodies. Since the forces are relative, coulomb forces cannot change the total linear or ang...
Choice of Pole Number of Two-Rotor Axial-Flux PM Motor for Control Moment Gyroscope Özlü Ertan, Hatice Gülçin (2011-09-10) Modern low earth orbit satellites use control moment gyroscopes (CMG) for maneuvering. GMC's generally use a brushless DC motor to run an inertial wheel at about 10000 rpm. In this paper axial-flux BLDC motor is considered for this task with a view to design a low volume, low weight CMC. Various axial-flux (AF) motor topologies are possible. However, two-rotor AF topology is found to be more advantageous. The specifications of an existing CMG design, based on a commercial BLDC motor are taken as reference. ...
Comparison of Outer Rotor Radial Flux and Axial Flux PM Motors for CMG Application Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2014-09-05) Control moment gyroscopes (CMG) are used in modern satellite applications for attitude control of satellites. The volume and mass of the instruments is very important in such applications. In this context, integrating the mass of the CMG, on the stator of the motor, promises to save space and mass. Radial-flux outer-rotor motor is a promising configuration in that respect. In this paper, using such a PM motor is considered for control moment gyroscope applications. The design of the motor must be made such ...
SATELLITE ATTITUDE CONTROL USING DISSIMILAR REDUNDANT ACTUATORS Kahraman, Ozgur; Tekinalp, Ozan (2009-02-12) Low Earth orbit satellites are usually equipped with magnetic torquers for momentum dumping and reaction wheels to carry out three axis attitude stabilization and control. These two different types of actuators mixed and used together to carry out slew maneuvers. The problem of allocating the control to these different types of actuators is realized using a recently developed algorithm called blended inverse. The algorithm is compared with the Moore-Penrose pseudo inverse demonstrating its success in realiz...
