Translational And Rotational Control Of An Asteroid Orbiting Satellite, Takahiro Kuhara Jan 2011

Translational And Rotational Control Of An Asteroid Orbiting Satellite, Takahiro Kuhara

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The objective of this thesis is to analyze an effective control scheme for an asteroid orbiting satellite. The thesis first summarizes the progress made in the dynamics formulation of such satellites and then provides a theoretical framework for the control system design. The control objective is to maintain a nadir pointing attitude on a circular equatorial orbit. Using established control design techniques, feedback laws are constructed to control both rotational and translational motion of the satellite so that the control objective is achieved. Computer simulations are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the control laws.
