Design of Attitude Control Servomechanisms with Fluid Ring and CMG for Rigid Satellite

ABSTRACT: Satellites cover a wide range of space missions as remote sensing. Accomplishment of the mission depends on satellite's stability maintenance and direction. The main task of the attitude control system is to provide stability to the satellite against external disturbances. Such perturbations are caused due to aerodynamic drag, solar radiation and magnetic field. The attitude dynamics model and the development of a controller to stabilize the three degrees of freedom rotational angles are quite important steps in the design of satellites. Although there are several actuators to provid...
