본 논문은 광학탑재체 지지구조물의 열지향오차 해석기법에 대한 연구이다. 광학탑재체 지지구조물의 열지향오차 해석을 수행하기 위해서는 위성본체 전체의 유한요소모델을 필요로 한다. 그러나 광학탑재체 지지구조물의 초기 설계시 위성본체의 유한요소모델이 정해지지 않기 때문에, 열지향오차 해석시 유한요소모델이 존재하지 않더라도 위성본체에 의한 열지향오차를 유도하는 해석기법이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 해석기법과 실제 해석시 이를 반영하는 구체적인 방법에 대해서 서술한다.

This article deals with the problem of fault detection of a spacecraft's actuators. The authors introduce an extended unknown input observer for nonlinear systems. This is an extended form of unknown input observers which are used for linear systems. Since faults are not available, those are considered as unknown inputs. Unknown input observers can estimate states without full information of inputs if some conditions are satisfied. The authors suggest a continuous-time extended UIO (eUIO) and prove the convergence of state estimation errors. Since the dynamic equation of a spacecraft is nonlinear, an extended UIO can be applied. Three eUIOs are designed to monitor three reaction wheels. The moving averages of each eUIO's residuals are selected for decision logic. The proposed method is verified by numerical simulations.

In this paper, the optimal torque shaping is obtained for 3-axis rotation of a spacecraft. The true optimal 3-axis rotation of rigid spaeraft is first investigated via parameter optimization method with prescribed switching times. Input torque shape of the troque generating device mounted on the central hub is optimized using fourier Series expansion so that the spacecraft may slew while minimizing the vibration energy of flexible modes. Numerical results show that proposed method suggests a reference trahectory for open-loop control, and also verify that it can minimize the vibratory modes of the spacecraft during/after the rest-to-rest maneuver.

Formation controller for multiple spacecrafts is designed based on a decentralized approach. The objective of the proposed controller is to make each spacecraft fly to the desired waypoints, while keeping the formation shape of multiple spacecrafts. To design the decentralized formation controller, the output feedback linearization technique using error functions for goal convergence and formation keeping is utilized for spacecraft dynamics. The primary contribution of this paper is to proposed optimal controller for formation flying based on the decentralized approach. To design the optimal controller, eigenvalue assignment technique is used. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller, numerical simulations are performed for three-dimensional waypoint-passing missions of multiple spacecrafts.

This paper is focused on designing an implementable control law to perform spacecraft various missions using momentum exchange devices such as reaction wheels(RWs) and control moment gyros(CMGs). A compact equation of motion of a spacecraft installed with various momentum exchange devices is derived in this paper. A hybrid control law is proposed for precision attitude control of agile spacecraft. The control law proposed in this paper allocates control torque to the CMGs and the RWs adequately to satisfy the precision attitude control and large angle maneuver simultaneously. The saturation problem of reaction wheels and the singularity problem of control moment gyros are considered. The problems are successfully resolved by using the proposed hybrid closed loop control law. Finally, the proposed hybrid control law is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

We propose a spacecraft attitude estimation algorithm using a federated unscented Kalman filter. For nonlinear spacecraft systems, the unscented Kalman filter provides better performance than the extended Kalman filter. Also, the decentralized scheme in the federated configuration makes a robust system because a sensor fault can be easily detected and isolated by the fault detection and isolation algorithm through a sensitivity factor. Using the proposed algorithm, the spacecraft can continuously perform a given mission despite navigation sensor faults. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the performance of the proposed attitude estimation algorithm.

This paper examines finite rotation angle (FRA) applications for spacecraft attitude control. The coordinate transformation matrix and the attitude kinematics represented by FRAs are introduced. The interpolation techniques for the angular orientations are thoroughly investigated using the FRAs and the results are compared to those using traditional methods. The paper proposes trajectory description techniques by using extremely smooth polynomial functions of time, which can describe point-to-point attitude maneuvers in a realizable and accurate manner with the help of unique FRA features. In addition, new controller design techniques using the FRAs are developed by combining the proposed interpolation techniques with a model predictive control framework. The proposed techniques are validated through their attitude control applications for an aggressive point-to-point maneuver. Conclusively, the FRAs provide much more flexibility than quaternions and Euler angles when describing kinematics, generating trajectories, and designing attitude controllers for spacecraft.

In this paper, a robust attitude control scheme based on Eigenaxis rotation for the spacecraft is proposed. Eigenaxis rotation transforms the attitude of spacecraft to the shortest path and is represented by quaternion. The control law consists of PD-type control part for the nominal system and the robust control part for compensating inertia uncertainty. For the proposed controller, stability analysis is performed and the performance is shown via computer simulation.

This paper presents the time optimal reorientation solution of three-axis spacecraft which has only three magnetic torquers. It has been very difficult problem because the magnetic torquer generates only perpendicular to Earth magnetic field vector. In this paper, minimum-time solution using only magnetic torquer is solved using collocation method and nonlinear programming solver NPSOL. IGRF Earth magnetic field model used to simulate magnetic field. The result is verified by comparing to the result of numerical integration. The solution is obtained for the various reorientation maneuver of three axes rigid spacecraft. And the results show that all three axes of rigid spacecraft are controlled effectively only by magnetic torqure.

This paper deals with the attitude control of an underactuated spacecraft that has fewer than three actuators. Even though such spacecrafts are known as uncontrollable, restricted missions are possible with controlling two-axis attitude angles. A variable speed control moment gyroscope is considered as an actuator. It is a kind of momentum exchange device and it shows highly nonlinear dynamical properties. Speed commands are generated by kinematic equations represented by Euler angles. A control law, that is designed to make a spacecraft follow the speed commands, is derived by the backstepping method. Angular speeds are estimated from the attitude measurements. Several estimation methods have been compared.
