The performance of a strapdown attitude reference system(SDARS) under dynamic environments was analyzed by means of computer simulation. The study is aimed toward the performance evaluation in the presence of translational or angular vibration during 20 sec of flight time. The simulation was based on the error model of rate gyro, and Euler angle algorithm was employed to compute the attitude.

Minimum-time attitude maneuvers of three-axis stabilized spacecraft are presented to study the feasibility of using three magnetic torquers perform large angle maneuvers. Previous applications of magnetic torquers have been limited to spin-stabilized satellites or supplemental actuators of three axis stabilized satellites because of the capability of magnetic torquers to produce torques about a specific axes. The minimum-time attitude maneuver problem is solved by applying a parameter optimization method for orbital cases to verify that the magnetic torque system can perform as required. Direct collocation and a nonlinear programming method with a constraining method by Simpson's rule are used to convert the minimum-time maneuver problems into parameter optimization problems. An appropriate number of nodes is presented to find a bang-bang type solution to the minimum-time problem. Some modifications in the boundary conditions of final attitude are made to solve the problem more robustly and efficiently. The numerical studies illustrate that the presented method can provide a capable and robust attitude reorientation by using only magnetic torquers. However, the required maneuver times are relatively longer than when thrusters or wheels are used. Performance of the system in the presence of errors in the magnetometer as well as the geomagnetic field model still good.

Satellite attitude-control actuators are equipped with a reaction wheel for three-axis attitude control. The reaction wheel rotates a motor inside the actuator to generate torque in the vector direction. When using the reaction wheel, there are restrictions on the torque values generated as the motor rotates. The torque value of the reaction wheels mounted on small satellites is approximately 10 mNm, and high values are not used. Therefore, three-axis attitude control of a small satellite is possible using a reaction wheel, but this method is not suitable for missions that require rapid attitude control at a specific time. As a technology to overcome the small torque value of the reaction wheel, the control moment gyro (CMG) is currently in wide use as a rapid attitude-control actuator in space satellites. The CMG has an internal gimbal mounted at a right angle to the rotation motor and generates a large torque value. In general, when the gimbal operates, a torque value approximately 100 times greater is generated, making it suitable for rapid posture maneuvering. Currently, we are developing a technology for mounting a controlled moment gyro on a small satellite, and here we share the development status of an 800 mNm CMG.

This study is implementation of attitude control system(ACS - Attitude Control System). for a multi legs robot. This study designs H/W of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and attitude control algorithm S/W. Compare performance with Mtx and MTx in order to verify action performance of this system after implementation, and will verify a system integrated IMU of a multi-legs robot. ACS uses Gyro and an accelerometer and an earth magnetism sensor, and it is a system controlling a roll, pitch angle attitude of an object. Generally, low price MEMS is difficult to calculate a correct situation of an object as an error occurs severely the Inertial sensor. This study implements IMU in order to develop ACS as use MEMS, accelerometer, Gyro sensor and earth magnetism sensor.

Transfer alignement is the process of initializing attitude of slave INS using the data of master INS. This paper presents the performance analysis of transfer alignment at sea using convariance analysis method. Velocity & angle matching and angular rate & acceleration matching are used for analysis, and the performance of two matching methods are compared. We propose a new method for angular rate & acceleration matching. Under the assumption of accurate modeling of ship flexure, the performance of transfer alignment time and accuray is improved very much for the new method.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the dynamic disturbances(disturbed forces and disturbed torques) due to attitude control thruster's plume impingement on the solar arrays. To produce database of the dynamic disturbances a sweep analysis was done, in which the two parameters are used; the distance between the thruster and solar arrays and the thruster tilt angle. Based on the database, a third order polynomial approximation is computed to represent the characteristics of the disturbed forces and torques. The final results are the coefficients of the approximation for each solar array angle position. These results as input data are used to optimize the configuration of the attitude control thrusters. This analysis is appled to the two candidate solar arrays for Geo-Kompsat-2 satellite and the results of the disturbed forces and disturbed torques are compared and analysed.

Recently, Autonomous vehicles are getting hot attention. Amazon, the biggest online shopping service provider is developing a delivery system that uses drones. This kinds of platforms are need accurate attitude information for navigation. In this paper, a structure design of AHRS using low-cost inertia sensor is proposed. To estimate attitudes a Kalman filter which uses a quaternion based dynamic model, bias-removed measurements from MEMS Gyro, raw measurements from MEMS accelerometer and magnetometer, is designed. To remove bias from MEMS Gyro, an additional Kalman filter which uses raw Gyro measurements and attitude estimates, is designed. The performance of implemented AHRS is compared with high price off-the-shelf 3DM-GX3-25 AHRS from Microstrain. The Gyro bias was estimated within 0.0001[deg/s]. And from the estimated attitude, roll and pitch angle error is smaller than 0.2 and 0.3 degree. Yaw angle error is smaller than 6 degree.

In general, the thrust vector control should be fast and stable in the initial launch phase. Two types of conventional controllers, one is for pitch angle control and the other is for pitch rate control, are designed based on the equation of motion without aerodynamics and are compared in the viewpoints of the stability margin and the time response performance. Also analyzed are the rejection capabilities to cope with high aerodynamic disturbances caused by high angle of attacks in initial booting phase. Additionally, time response features at actuator saturation are investigated. Based on those results, we suggest a controller structure which is more suitable for thrust vector control of missiles at initial booting phase.

An alignment algorithm for strapdown inertial navigation systems is proposed, in which the psi angle error model is utilized. The proposed alignment algorithm is derived from the Psi angle error model which has been widely used in real-time navigation systems. The equation for expecting steady state alignment error is also derived. The proposed algorithm was verified through real-time experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in the inertial navigation system and GNSS/INS integrated navigation system to get an initial attitude of the vehicle.

KOMPSAT-2 will carry MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) which provides 1m resolution panchromatic and 4m resolution multi-spectral images at the altitude of 685km sun-synchronous mission orbit. The mission operation of KOMSPAT-2 is to provide the earth observation using MSC with nadir pointing. KOMPSAT-2 will also have the capability of roll/pitch tilt maneuver using reaction wheel of satellite as required. In order to protect MSC from thermal distortion as well as direct sunlight, MSC shall be operated within the constraint of sun incidence angle. It is expected that the sunlight will not violate the constraint of sun incidence angle for normal mission operations without roll/pitch maneuver. However, during roll/pitch tilt operations, optical module of MSC may be damaged by the sunlight. This study analyzed sun incidence angle of payload using KOMPSAT-2 AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem) Design and Performance Analysis Soft ware for KOMPSAT-2 normal mission operations.
