This book explores CubeSat technology, focusing on the mathematical modeling of spacecraft attitude. It covers passive and active stabilization methods and the design of controllers like PID, LQR, and FLC to control CubeSat three-axis stabilization using magnetic coils.
This book explores CubeSat technology, and develops a nonlinear mathematical model of a spacecraft with the assumption that the satellite is a rigid body. It places emphasis on the CubeSat subsystem, orbit dynamics and perturbations, the satellite attitude dynamic and modeling, and components of attitude determination and the control subsystem.
The book focuses on the attitude stabilization methods of spacecraft, and presents gravity gradient stabilization, aerodynamic stabilization, and permanent magnets stabilization as passive stabilization methods, and spin stabilization and three axis stabilization as active stabilization methods. It also discusses the need to develop a control system design, and describes the design of three controller configurations, namely the Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller (PID), the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and how they can be used to design the attitude control of CubeSat three-axis stabilization.
Furthermore, it presents the design of a suitable attitude stabilization system by combining gravity gradient stabilization with magnetic torquing, and the design of magnetic coils which can be added in order to improve the accuracy of attitude stabilization. The book then investigates, simulates, and compares possible controller configurations that can be used to control the currents of magnetic coils when magnetic coils behave as the actuator of the system.
This book explores the systems engineering, production processes and performance issues of solid rockets. It discusses state-of-the-art techniques and recent developments, appealing to rocket scientists, students, and professors.
The 1972 crash of Alitalia flight AZ 112 killed 115 people and was blamed on pilot negligence. This book reveals the truth: the disaster was not an accident but a criminal act, a symptom of the geopolitical tensions gripping Italy and Europe in that decade.
Space resources will transform human enterprise. This practical workbook is an invaluable guide for start-ups, students, and space enthusiasts. Learn how to start a space business, engage regulators, and coordinate teams to gain the confidence to build, live, and work in space.
The development of outer space is happening now, but few are aware. The vast wealth it generates threatens to create unprecedented inequality. This is a call to action to ensure the final frontier benefits all of humanity, not just a select few.
To combat human error in complex cockpits, this book offers unique insights into building an onboard expert system. It details a system that supports the crew by detecting a hazard in real-time, identifying its source, and providing recommendations to pilots to avoid accidents.
