Satellite attitude acquisition by momentum transfer-the controlled wheel speed method

Abstract: Abstract. An implementation of the momentum transfer method for spacecraft attitude acquisition of momentum wheel stabilized geostationary satellites is presented, in which the wheel speed is varied in a predeterminable manner to reduce the nutation usually associated with the method. The implementation is found to be capable of achieving the transfer to the desired zero nutation end point with 5 ~ to 20 ~ of residual nutation in practical situations without additional nutation damping. The transfer time is ty… Show more

“…[13,14]) or after attitude stabilization using momentum transfer algorithms (as described in Ref. [15,16]). Another innovative approach considered was to estimate the magnetic field vector in the satellite's Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for attitude determination by measuring the dynamic effects of torque rods on the satellite's body rates.…”
