Control of the attitude system for the UMR SAT project

Author

David Randall Walker

Abstract

"This thesis presents an attitude control model for the UMR SAT project. The UMR SAT project is a student design project at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This project involves the study of two satellites flying in coupled flight as well as formation flight. The control model includes a guidance law using Lyapunov stability principles and a control logic algorithm with the use of both a magnetic coil actuator and thrusters with a throttle filter. A hybrid controller using both magnetic coils and thrusters is also discussed. The magnetic coil controller and thruster controller were synthesized using a dynamic model without perturbations"--Abstract, page iii.
