ATTITUDE CONTROL OF AN ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE USING H_∞ AND TWO-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM CONTROL: ON-ORBIT EXPERIMENTS USING ETS-Ⅵ

摘要

In this paper, results of attitude control experiments using Engineering Test Satellite Ⅵ (ETS-Ⅵ) on orbit are introduced. ETS-Ⅵ is a three-axis-stabilized satellite launched by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) in August 1994. Identification and attitude control experiments on orbit were one of the ETS-Ⅵ mission programs and were carried out from January to March in 1995. The attitude controllers were designed using W_∞ control method and two-degree-of-freedom control method. Experimental results show the effectiveness of these controllers for artificial satellite control.
