Compensation of time-variable magnetic moments for a precise attitude control in nano- and micro-satellite missions

Theses days, many nano- and micro-satellites are applied to several astronomy and remote sensing missions. In order to achieve mission requirements, these satellites must control the attitude precisely. A magnetic disturbance is one of the dominant sources of attitude disturbances. Therefore, this disturbance should be canceled in-orbit or on the ground to achieve the attitude strict requirements. This paper presents the effect of the magnetic disturbance to the attitude in nano- and micro-satellite missions and the sources of the residual magnetic moment of the satellites, which causes the magnetic disturbance. Then, the paper proposes a method to compensate the residual magnetic moment both in-orbit and in the design phase of the satellites. The research also focused on a time-varying residual magnetic moment. Finally, the method is applied to a micro-astrometry satellite as an example.     

参数自整定模糊PI控制在纳卫星热控系统中的应用

在功能维持不变甚至更强的条件下,卫星体积、尺寸和质量不断减小,致使在卫星内部小空间内单位时间传输大量的热,因此常规的热控技术很难满足控制要求.为使纳卫星负载温度稳定在允许范围内,亟需研发新的热控方法.在纳卫星温度系统模型基础上,将PI参数模糊自整定控制器与航天器热控技术相结合,得到纳卫星智能热控系统,以调节辐射器散热面为控制目标,并进行了仿真研究.结果表明,该控制策略响应快,适戍性和鲁棒性强,消除了稳态误差,较模糊控制和传统PI控制具有更好的动、静态特性,适用于纳卫星热控系统.
