Momentum unloading excessive reaction-wheel system of a spacecraft

Wide use of electromechanical actuators in attitude control systems of spacecraft is intimately connected with improvement of these actuators using unloading methods—relieving excessive momentum. As applied to electromechanical actuators of the type of reaction wheels, the problem of unloading momentum for the case of excessive flywheel system is studied. The key feature of the work is the use of arbitrary parameters in the general solution of the undefined system of linear algebraic equations as additional control parameters. For the minimum excessive flywheel system and magnetorquers of the unloading system creating the additional external moment, control algorithms are synthesized which guarantee asymptotic stability of the zero solution to model equations describing the flywheel motion. The performance of the proposed algorithms and specific features of the process of unloading momentums of the flywheels are studied, as exemplified by the controlled motion of the spacecraft in stabilization of the regime of three-axial orbital orientation.

Nonlinear attitude and shape control of spacecraft with articulatedappendages and reaction wheels

Three-dimensional attitude and shape control problems are studied for a class of spacecraft with articulated appendages and reaction wheels. A number of special cases of such attitude control problems have been studied previously. We provide a unified formulation and a comprehensive set of results for planning of attitude and shape maneuvers of a spacecraft, assuming that joint actuators and reaction wheels provide a sufficiently rich set of inputs. The development is based on a nonlinear, drift-free, control model that characterizes the attitude and shape change dynamics, assuming zero angular momentum of the system. Controllability results are presented for the general case, and specialized results are identified for interesting multibody spacecraft configurations. These results are made explicit by providing computable formulas for the Lie brackets in terms of the spacecraft geometry, mass properties, and shape. Constructive motion planning approaches are described to achieve spacecraft attitude and shape change maneuvers. A distinct feature of these approaches is that they require only simple computations, as is desirable for online implementation. Emphasis is given to the interplay between the shape change dynamics and the attitude change dynamics in achieving the maneuver planning objectives     

Attitude-based dynamic and kinematic models for wheels of mobile robot on deformable slope

Deformable slope is a type of terrain that wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) and ground unmanned vehicles (GUVs) may have to traverse to accomplish their mission tasks. However, the associated terramechanics for wheels with arbitrary posture is rarely studied. In this paper, based on wheel attitude, dynamics of the wheel–terrain interaction for a rigid wheel on deformable slope is investigated. Through introducing the angular geometry of wheel attitude into terramechanics theory, a generalized dynamic model is developed, involving two inclination angles of slope and three attitude angles of wheel steering axis. Two representative cases are studied: the wheel runs straight forward and perpendicular to the slope, and the wheel is in a steering maneuver with an inclined steering axis. A generalized kinematic model for wheel–terrain contact point and wheel center is also provided, which analytically explicates that trajectory of wheel motion is coupled with wheel attitude while driven by angular rates. The proposed attitude-based models are valid for arbitrary wheel–terrain geometry and can lead to control purpose directly. Effectiveness of the models is confirmed by simulating the influences from attitude to wheel mechanics and motion.     

The parameters optimisation design for variable speed control momentum gyroscopes

Control momentum gyroscopes (CMGs) have many advantages over other actuators for the attitude control of a spacecraft. Compared with the single-gimbal control moment gyroscopes (SGCMGs), the mass and power of the flywheel of variable-speed control moment gyroscopes (VSCMGs) are greatly increased. In this paper, a new solving strategy of singularity problem is proposed, which concludes the exchangeable momentum and steering law, and the parameters of VSCMGs are designed based on the constraint of singular problem. The configuration characteristics of VSCMGs with the constraint of upper and lower bounds of the flywheel regulation speed are revealed. The steering characteristics of weighted pseudo-inverse with null motion (WPINM) are analysed, then the flywheel torque requirement of WPINM is evaluated based on the geometry theory. At last, the parameter design problem of VSCMGs is cast as multi-objectives and bi-level programming problem. The bi-level programming is transformed into a single-level programming problem by using of the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker condition. Finally, the intelligent algorithm of particle swarm optimisation is presented to solve the nonlinear multi-objective problem.     

Steady motions of gyrostat satellites and their stability

The steady motions of a rigid body rotating about its maximum principal axis of inertia, while the radius vector lies in the direction of its minimum principal axis of inertia, is known to be stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Due in part to their stowed configuration in launch vehicles, however, satellites typically have an initial rotation about their minimum principal axis of inertia. Such rotation may be unstable in the presence of some dissipations. This paper investigates the effect of momentum wheels on the stability of steady motions. It is proved that the momentum wheels increase the effective moment of inertia of the gyrostat-satellite system about some desired axis. Stability of the steady rotation about the desired axis can be established only for the case when the moment of inertia of the axis aligned with the radius vector is smaller than that of the axis of linear momentum. A new set of stability criteria is obtained which includes the effects of the coupling between the orbital and attitude dynamics and may be useful in the design of attitude control systems for large spacecraft in low Earth orbit     

Failure diagnosis of actuator using the EKF and NP theorem

There are many classical methods available for generating maneuver commands for spacecraft, where the nominal control system design consists of three torque inputs. A standard problem for the spacecraft feedback control consists of developing attitude stabilization methods that send the angular velocity to zero, if it exists. If a malfunction occurs on-orbit that eliminates or degrades the capability of torque inputs, reconfiguration of the spacecraft system is required for performing missions with the current condition. In this paper, the model-based failure diagnosis method for actuators of spacecraft, such as reaction wheels, is proposed. After generating residuals of attitude through the extended Kalman filter, failure detection of the actuator is performed. Moreover, the probability of actuator failure is conducted using the Neyman-Pearson theorem in order to recognize a degree of failure. Partial and complete failure cases are considered and successful results of failure diagnosis are presented.
