Application of High Moment-Producing Techniques for Control of a Manned Space Vehicle

摘要

High moment-producing techniques are applied to the attitude control of manned space vehicles which perform orbital transfer, rendezvous, and lifting re-entry maneuvers. The specific accomplishments were: (a) Establishment of control system, subsystem and component requirements for critical vehicle flight phases. (b) Analysis of promising techniques for performing the flight control functions required during the various maneuvers. A hypothetical vehicle was selected and its space mission was analyzed to determine the attitude control requirements. The rendezvous and re-entry maneuvers were found to be especially demanding on the attitude control system. (Author)
