Dynamics and control of a tri‐axis satellite attitude simulator

Dynamics and control of a tri‐axis satellite attitude simulator Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a tri‐axis spacecraft simulator to simulate the three‐axis attitude motion of a satellite and for ground‐based hardware‐in‐the‐loop simulation. Design/methodology/approach – The structure of tri‐axis satellite attitude simulator is designed first. Full dynamic model is then derived. Based on the dynamic model, a simple proportional‐integral‐derivative controller is developed and applied to control the motion of simulator. Findings – The effectiveness of the proposed simulator configuration has been verified through numerical simulations. The tri‐axis simulator can follow the satellite attitude motion precisely. Originality/value – This paper is valuable for researchers working on the development of tri‐axis spacecraft attitude simulator. This work is original. The simulator configuration has been applied to a satellite mission that was launched successfully in 2006. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing
