This paper introduces feedback linearization (FL) based adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) effective against ground effects of the quadrotor UAV. The proposed control has the capability of estimation and effective rejection of those effects by adaptive mechanism, which resulting stable attitude and positioning of the quadrotor. As output variables of quadrotor, x-y-z position and yaw angle are chosen. Dynamic extension of the quadrotor dynamics is obtained for terms of roll and pitch control input to be appeared explicitly in x-y-z dynamics, and then linear feedback control including a ground effect is designed. A sliding mode control (SMC) is designed with a class of FL including higher derivative terms, sliding surfaces for which is designed as a class of integral type of resulting closed loop dynamics. The asymptotic stability of the overall system was assured, based on Lyapunov stability methods. It was evaluated through some simulation that attitude control capability is stable under excessive estimation error for unknown ground effect and initial attitude of roll, pitch, and yaw angle of $30^{\circ}$ in all. Effectiveness of the proposed method was shown for quadrotor system with ground effects.

In order to provided continuous solutions, latest developing navigation systems tend to integrate GPS receiver with INS or DR. Using the GPS carrier-phase measurements, an attitude GPS receiver with three antennas obtain the 3-dimensional attitude such as roll, pitch, and heading as well as position and velocity. With these angle measurements, in the attitude GPS/INS integrated system, attitude or gyro errors can be directly compensated. In this paper, we develop an integrated navigation system that combines attitude GPS receiver with INS. The performance of real-time integrated navigation system is determined by not only the implements of integration filter but also the synchronization of measurements. To meet these real-time requirements, the navigation software is implemented in multi-tasking structure in this paper. We also employ time-synchronization technique in the multi-sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the performance of the attitude GPS/INS integrated system is consistent even when cycle-slip occurs in carrier-phase measurements.

In this work, the nutation control of rigid spacecraft with only two momentum wheels is addressed by applying the feedback linearization technique. In this strategy, the primary performance index is to regulate the nutational angle by the momentum control of wheels. The spacecraft attitude equations of motion are transformed to a general linearized form by feedback linearization technique, including a guaranteed control law promising the internal dynamics stability to accomplish the nutation angle small. It is proven that the configuration of inertia properties plays a key role in analyzing spacecraft energy level. The behavior of the momentum wheels is also studied analytically and numerically. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear control law for the momentum transfer is verified by conducting numerical simulations.

The floating ring seal is often used in the turbopump (TP) unit of liquid rocket engine (LRE) owing to its inherent ability of minimizing the leakage flow and superior dynamic characteristics as well. This paper describes the test results concerned with the lock-up and dynamic characteristics of the floating ring seals in the turbopump. The characteristics of the floating ring seals were extracted from the frequency response function (FRF) by instrumental variable method. The experiment was tested at 7.0MPa and 0-24,800 rpm. And the test results were introduced about the dynamic characteristics of floating ring seal related with the eccentricity and attitude angle.

In order to get the high resolution satellite image, MSC has TDI function in the KOMPSAT-2. So it is required to control the yaw angle of the attitude as operation concepts of KOMPSAT-2. This study was to explain the TDI function, to set up the geometric equation to satisfy the condition, and finally to determine the equation of yaw angle. The calculating program was developed and simulated with orbit and imaging attitude as input data, and the results were compared with the yaw steering values calculated in the on-board computer.

In this paper, we focus on planing avoidance control for a supercavitating underwater vehicle based on the potential function method. The planing margin can be calculated using the relative position between the cavity center and vehicle center at the end of the vehicle. The planing margin was transformed into a limit variable such as the pitch angle and yaw angle limit. To prevent the vehicle attitude from exceeding the limit variable, a potential function based planing envelope protection method was proposed. The planing envelope protection system overrides commands from the tracking controller, and the vehicle attitude converges to a desired angle, in which the potential function is minimized. Numerical simulations were performed to analyze the physical feasibility and performance of the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed methods eliminated the planing, allowing the vehicle to follow tracking commands.

Thermal vibration characteristics of a thin walled composite beam attached on spacecraft are investigated in this paper. The composite beam is assumed to have a thin CUS(circumferentially uniform stiffness) wall and modeled with several composite materials which are already space qualified such as T300/Epoxy, YS90AEpoxy. Steady state angle and peak to peak error in spacecraft attitude angle and tip displacement of composite beams are evaluated as a performance index for thermal vibration characteristics. Evaluation results shows that composite beam made out of YS90A has nearly 2 times better than T300 in terms of peak to peak attitude error angle.

This paper presents the attitude algorithm using Fuzzy technique to mix gyro information with accelerometer. The attitude angle calculated by the low-cost gyros only increases its error with time rapidly because of the integration process of the algorithm and large sensor error. It is known that the accelerometer output includes the attitude information of a vehicle and its information is more effective during low dynamic maneuver. Therefore it is needed to combine two information appropriately for obtaining the attitude information from low-cost MEMS inertial sensors. Because Fuzzy logic is very effective to make a decision of maneuvering state, it is applied to the mixed algorithm. It is shown by experiment ...

The Helicopter system has a non-linearity and complexity. Futhermore, because of absence of its correct mathematical model. it is difficult to control accurately its attitudes for elevation angle and azimuth one. Therefore, we proposed a GA-PID control technique to control these angles efficiently. The proposed GA-PID controller can systematically generate optimal PID parameters by applying GA theory to a helicopter attitude control system. Through the computer simulation, the GA-PID technique shows better attitude control characteristic than traditional PID control technique.

Shuster's algorithm for spin-axis determination is extended to include sensor bias and mounting angle as its solve-for parameters. The relation between direct and derived measurements bias is obtained by linearizing their kinematic equations. A one-step least-square estimation technique referred to as the 'closed form' solution is used, and the solution provides a more refined and decent initial guess for the subsequent filtering process contained within the differential correction module. The modified algorithm is applied for attitude determination of a GEO communication satellite in transfer orbit, and its results are presented.
