Abstract: | A communication satellite (small spacecraft) injected into a geosynchronous orbit is considered. Flywheel engines are used
to control the rotational spacecraft motion. The spacecraft after the emergency situation has passed into a state of uncontrolled
rotation. In this case, no direct telemetric information about parameters of its rotational motion was accessible. As a result,
the problem arose to determine the rotational satellite motion according to the available indirect information: current taken
from the solar panels. Telemetric measurements of solar panel current obtained on the time interval of a few hours were simultaneously
processed by the least squares method integrating the equations of rotational satellite motion. We present the results of
processing 10 intervals of the measurement data allowing one to determine the real rotational spacecraft motion and to estimate
the total angular momentum of flywheel engines. |
