Homework Questions for 2/27
For your selected Mission: Pick two attitude control approaches that might work List the sensors and actuators necessary to implement each of them. How accurate / sensitive would each have to be? Any other special requirements ($, mass, volume, power, bandwidth etc.) Locate them on a “generic” spacecraft (e.g. a cube or faceted sphere Make a block diagram of the feedback control system you envision Pick your favorite of the two, and tell me why it’s your favorite (compare $, mass, complexity, performance…) Comments: Eg. Gravity Gradient, Thompson Spin & TS with momentum storage are options for an earth pointer. Also search Web to locate actual components that might be candidates - not selections, but possibilities. ACS thrusters want to be in pairs and far from the CG. Torque coils don’t care. Sensors have to have a clear view out etc. What is the plant, what are the sensors, what is the actuator suite? What are the “set points?” Make a “trade table” listing specs / attributes of each to justify your selection. ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5

Homework Questions Cont. for 2/27
For your Favorite of the two: List the ACS modes and the triggers to proceed from one to another. Diagram with a flow chart. Suggest a simple algorithm for your mission mode. Model it on Excel and show that it has a prayer of working List requirements your selected ACS imposes on the spacecraft List a candidate component suite and estimate the cost and labor to design, build & test. Comments: Modes might include sleep, initial rate killer, sun or earth finder, rough point, tight point, and safe/hold. For instance, measure an error angle or rate and actuate something to reduce that error. For example: mass distribution, symmetry, power, siting, computation, magnetic / electromagnetic cleanliness Assume an engineering year costs $200,000 including the tools and toys necessary to play with ACS in the lab.

SSA Problems: Moon Interference
Problem: Moon Interference (Partial Solar Eclipse) The SSA’s detection threshold is 20% of the nominal solar intensity The SSA will detect the sun during a partial solar eclipse During a partial eclipse, the centroid of the visible solar crescent is offset from the sun’s true centroid This produces a 0.1° to 0.2 ° error in the measured sun angle Note The sun's visible surface has an angular diameter of 0.53 deg. as seen from Earth ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5

ESA Problems: Non-Distinct Targets

Spin vs. 3-Axis Stabilization
Rank Parameter Spin Stabilization 3-Axis Stabilization (Thrusters) 1 Disturbance Rejection Directly proportional to stack MOI and spin-rate. High rpm might constrain AD, OD, and ConOps. Will require propellant for spin/de-spin. Requires appropriate sizing of thrusters and propellant. 2 Sensitivity to Stack Moments of Inertia Large dependency on payload mass properties (MP). Will likely require trim mass, frequent measurements of stack MP, and update of spin rate. ACS can accommodate spacecraft plant through modification of software. 3 Thrust Misalignment See (1). Commanded thrust will precess and nutate spacecraft attitude. See (1). 4 Slewing Requires “turning” stiff rotation vector. Easily accomplished; see (1). 5 Pointing Inertial pointing only; accuracy highly dependent upon MOI and spin rate (2). Capable of high accuracy, tracking, offset commanding. 6 C.G. Management CG migration measurement must be extracted from off-axis rotation rates and may require analysis/update of spin rate (2). CG migration can be determined from system performance and is easily accommodated; see (1). 7 Propellant Management Inherently settles propellant for primary orbit adjust, but may inhibit fuel flow near end of life. May require a short settling burn before start of primary ignition. 8 Slosh High spin rates can reduce slosh effects. Slosh effects handled through software and filter design. ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5

Attitude Control H/W: Torque Rods/Coils
A torquer consists of a coil (or two redundant coils) around a soft iron core. Coil magnetizes the iron core Long, slender core magnetizes easier and more uniformly than a short, “fat” bar. Longer bar uses less power and coil mass. Subject to hysteresis saturation effects. Typically with wheels and/or gravity gradient booms. ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
49
Attitude Control H/W: Reaction Wheels
The positive momentum/torque axes are all 45 from the pitch axis The projections of the momentum/torque axes onto the yaw/roll plane are all 45 from the yaw and roll axes ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
50
Reaction Wheel vs. Momentum Wheel
Bi-directional Operates over a large speed range (positive & negative) Generates torque by controlling motor current Momentum Wheel Unidirectional Operates in a narrow range about a high nominal speed Torque depends on difference between commanded speed & current speed Mechanically, there is no difference between a reaction wheel and a momentum wheel. ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
51
Typical Pitch Momentum Profile
Daily oscillation is due mainly to solar radiation pressure Long-term slope is due mainly to payload transmissions ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
52
Yaw/Roll Momentum Interchange
If there are no disturbances The angular momentum vector has a constant magnitude and a constant direction in space The spacecraft rotates once per orbit Necessary for the payload to continuously face Earth As viewed from the spacecraft coordinate system Angular momentum is exchanged between the yaw and roll axes The wheel speeds vary once per orbit, with the yaw and roll momentum 90 out of phase ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5

Spacecraft Feedback Controller
+/- Thruster Torque a time d2Q/dt2 = Torque/I “point at sun” Q = 0 => V=0 V = Volts Error Angle = Sun Sense - 0 T = -k(Q) Actuator Set point Error Control Algorithm Plant (satellite) Disturbances Sensor Amazingly complicated - every controller has all these parts Simple example - keeping a car between the white lines: - set point is middle of the lane - error is veering toward one of the white lines (dx from centerline) - Control algorithm - turn the wheel proportional to the error or rate of change of the error - actuator is steering system (via your arms) - Plant is the car which has dynamics - ie how it “responds” to steering. Every car is different, and the algorithm has to adapt. - disturbances: wind gust, banked roads, curves, construction zones (white lines zigzag) Sensor - your eyes - plus kinesthetic sensations Sun Sensor V a Q ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
59
0th Order Angle Controller
The rotational analogue of the spring / mass system where the spring is a controller proportional to position - here our controller is proportional to angle of rotation. The spring produced a force which accelerates the mass linearly. Applying a torque accelerates the angle (constant rate of change of omega) ADCS Design & Hardware ME176: Lecture 5
60
1st Order Angle Controller
In the Spring / Mass / Damper system, the damper does not know or care about position - it provides a force proportional to, and opposite, any velocity. In space there’s no “friction” so the control must be active, not like a passive damper since there is no rotational sink (ie the non-rotating room your rotating object is within).
