PROCEDURE AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE BEHAVIOR OF A SATELLITE.

摘要

Procedure for controlling the behavior of a satellite by governing the speed of the gyrodin cardans of a group of gyrods, which have respective gyroscopes mounted on rotating cardanes on a satellite platform, around different orientation axes, according to which : - it is determined, from the initial conditions of behavior and angular velocity of the satellite, from the desired final conditions in terms of behavior and angular velocity of the satellite, and from a duration of time assigned to the passage of the initial conditions to the final conditions, this maneuvering step being called, a group configuration, called a reference configuration, away from any singular configuration such that the exchange of the kinetic moment between the group of girodinos and the satellite during a period of time causes the desired composition maneuver, and - is carried for Simultaneously and independently, the orientation of each gimbal to its reference orientation thanks to an angular position reference sent in an open loop to the local servo control of the angular position of the cardan.
