Fault tolerant attitude control of under-actuated spacecraft: Theory and experiment

This paper investigates fault tolerant attitude control theory and experiment for under-actuated spacecraft with one reaction wheel completely broken and two others suffering actuator faults of partial loss of effectiveness or bias. A non-smooth robust adaptive fault tolerant control law is proposed under the zero-momentum and input saturation conditions. It shows that the available reaction wheels need to produce sufficient control torque for the fault tolerance. Such a new control method is implemented in a semi-physical simulation system of an air-bearing platform. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in spacecraft practical engineering.     

固体姿轨控发动机喉栓运动时序实验设计方法

固体姿轨控发动机通过伺服机构控制喉栓位移实现推力矢量调节。为实现推力精确调控，需拟合大量地面试验数据，得出发动机喉栓位移与推力矢量间的数学模型。提出了一种面向喉栓式固体轨控发动机喉栓运动时序实验设计方法，实现了单次试验中不同燃烧室理论压强及喉栓位移组合最大覆盖，为最低试验成本下精准构建喉栓位移与推力输出模型提供训练样本。以四阀固体轨控发动机作为对象，基于零维内弹道实现燃气发生器压强求解。采用Φp准则评估喉栓位置组合遍历性，并对其进行优化，获得合理的喉栓运动方案。算例结果证明实验设计后方案在整个运动周期内几乎遍历各种组合状态，较实验设计前Φp值提升近40%，验证了本文实验设计方法在时序工程问题中的优良性能。采用实验设计方法可提高固体姿轨控发动机地面试车数据利用效率。
