Trajectory planning and tracking for autonomous vehicles
Çiçek, Haluk Levent; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-12-27)
Finding appropriate paths is an essential issue for the development of autonomous vehicles and robots. Hereby, it has to be considered that autonomous vehicles cannot follow sharp corners, as they cannot turn on a single point. Therefore, it is important to compute smooth paths that have additional desirable properties such as minimum length and sufficient distance from obstacles. Furthermore, practical applications require the computation of such paths in real time. This thesis develops a general method...
ORBIT TRANSFER OF AN EARTH ORBITING SOLAR SAIL CUBESAT
Atas, Omer; Tekinalp, Ozan (2017-02-09)
Propelling a spacecraft by using solar radiation pressure is examined in the context of orbital maneuvers. A locally optimal steering law to progressively change number of selected orbital elements together is addressed. An Earth centered cubesat satellite with solar sail is used as an example. The proper attitude maneuver mechanization is proposed to harvest highest solar radiation force in the desired direction for Earth orbiting satellites. The satellite attitude control is realized using to-go quaternio...
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...
Attitude determination and rotational motion parameters identification of a LEO satellite through magnetometer and sun sensor data
Kutlu, A.; Haciyev, Ch.; Tekinalp, Ozan (2007-06-16)
In this paper, Attitude Determination and Parameter Identification problem of a LEO satellite are studied. In Attitude Determination System three rate gyroscopes, three axis magnetometer and a sun sensor data are used. Using Kalman Filter algorithms angular rates and quaternions are estimated. In these algorithms, rate gyroscope bias measurements are also taken into consideration in state estimation. In Parameter Identification part, the Moment of Inertia values of the satellite are estimated by using Least...
