The problem of obtaining long term relative orbit configurations for spacecraft clusters with realistic operational considerations such as safety, station keeping and inter-spacecraft distances is addressed. Two different approaches are developed for station keeping and safety objectives. In the first approach, relative orbit configurations, or relative TLEs, are found minimizing deviations from reference mean orbit which would maximize the station-keeping objective. In second one, relative configurations are found from a reference initial condition by minimizing probability of collision, hence maximizing the safety objective, between the spacecraft in the cluster which are propagated numerically through a high precision orbit propagator. For the design optimization, a derivative free algorithm is proposed. Effectiveness of the approaches is demonstrated through simulations. Using this design framework, several configurations can be found by exploring the limits of the clusters in terms of spacecraft number, distance bounds and probabilities of collision for long time intervals.

LONG TERM AND SAFE CLUSTER FLYING FOR DISTRIBUTED SPACE SYSTEMS
Yağlıoğlu, Burak; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2023-1-24)
To fill the gap between the formation flying and swarm missions, cluster flying is introduced with relatively loose geometry constraints and control accuracy requirements as well as considering more spacecraft compared to formation flying which typically accommodates two spacecraft (a leader and a follower). The problem of long-term relative orbit design for and maintenance of spacecraft clusters with realistic operational considerations such as safety, station keeping and inter-spacecraft distance constrai...
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...
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 ...
Orbit Control of an Earth Orbiting Solar Sail Satellite
Polat, Halis Can; Tekinalp, Ozan (2022-09-01)
A concept for the utilization of solar sail satellite's propellant-free thrust capability at Low earth orbit (LEO) is proposed and its orbit control strategy is analyzed. Thrust vector control of the sail's normal direction is used to harvest the solar radiation pressure for generating the necessary acceleration to change the orbital elements. The required control vector direction is determined with two approaches. The first approach is realized by approximating the Gaussian Variational Equations at the emp...
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 ...
