“…FOREIGN SATELLITE SYSTEM HAS STEPPED INTO AUTOMATED TASK PLANNING Wherever Many institutions such as NASA, ESA and CNES are devoted to on-board planning and scheduling so as to support automated operation of spacecrafts and complete complex tasks. Main projects and systems contain: RAX-PS (Remote Agent Experiment-Planning / Scheduling) of NASA, ASPEN (Automated Planning / Scheduling Environment) and CASPER (Continuous Activity Scheduling Planning Execution and Re-planning) responsible for EO-1 satellite control, PROBA (Project for On-Board Autonomy) of ESA and AGATA (Autonomy Generic Architecture -Test and Application) of CNES [2,5,6,7]. a) RAX-PS (Remote Agent Experiment-Planning / Scheduling) of NASA.…”

ABSTRACT:A straight-line following controller for a small and light airplane flying in windy conditions is proposed. In a first time, the lateral dynamics of the plane are derived and the error deviation velocity with respect to the desired trajectory is computed. A simple nonlinear control law is developed in order to impose a linear behavior for the airplane position and to track the desired trajectory. Several simulations, taking into account quasi-constant wind disturbances, are performed to analyze the performance of the closed-loop system. Improved results are obtained including the airplane orientation to counter the wind as an input for the flight planning. In order to validate the proposed control scheme an airplane has been developed based on the classic aerodynamic layout. Future work will introduce the experimental results when applying in real-time the proposed control algorithm.
