摘要
The present invention provides an emulation system having a control system that allows the testing of a satellite control system with all of its hardware in place, i.e. fully integrated. The emulation methodology is applicable to the case of either a rigid spacecraft or a flexible spacecraft, provided that the spacecraft's sensors and actuators are stowed to the rigid part of spacecraft in the case of a flexible spacecraft. Practically, the latter condition is not restrictive, as the actuators and sensors are usually placed rigidly in the satellite bus, while the satellite solar panels constitute the flexible elements. The control system is used to tune the mass properties and dynamic behaviour of a rigid ground-spacecraft in a 1-G environment to those of a flight-spacecraft in 0-G. A six-axis force/moment sensor is placed at an interface of the ground-spacecraft and a manipulator. Signals received from the force/moment sensor, and in some cases signals relating to the position and velocity of manipulator joints, are received into the control system.
