Dynamics Modeling and Low Rate Control ofGimbal Servo System for Single Gimbal Control Moment Gyro JIN Lei, XU Shi-Jie 2010, 30 (6):  1-10.  Abstract ( 3819 )   PDF (531KB) ( 2870 )   Save In order to ensure the high precision of output torque, the precise dynamics modeling and control of gimbal servo system were studied. By thorough dynamics analysis of single gimbal control moment gyro (SGCMG) mounted on the spacecraft, the dynamic model of gimbal servo system was established, taking into account the largest disturbing torque along the gimbal axis resulted from rotor imbalance and the friction torque. For the gimbal servo system using a sinusoidal permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM), the inner and outer loop controllers were both designed based on the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) theory. The simulation results demonstrate that under the assumption that the high frequency disturbing torque resulted from rotor imbalance is ignored, the modeled and unmodeled disturbance existing in both loops were estimated and compensated exactly using the ADRC controller, so that the high precision control of gimbal servo system was ensured. The results also show the effect level of the rotor imbalance on gimbal control precision. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Nonlinear Feed Forward Control on Attitude andOrbital Coupling Model  for Spacecraft TIE Yu-Jia, YUE Xiao-Kui, CAO Jing 2010, 30 (6):  11-16.  Abstract ( 5241 )   PDF (322KB) ( 2388 )   Save Precise relative orbit and attitude model play a significant role in the spacecrafts formation flying, rendezvous and docking. Nevertheless, the independent relative orbital model can't meet the high precision requirements. Based on the nonlinear relative motion dynamics equations and attitude kinematics equations described by modified Redrigues parameters (MRPs), a relative dynamic model of 6 DOF was developed. The accuracy of the model is  guaranteed with couplings and nonlinear terms′supporting. Nonlinear feed forward control law was designed for the coupled nonlinear dynamic model, whose close loop system was proved to be global asymptotic stable by Lyapunov direct method. The numerical simulations results verify the effectiveness of the model and control law. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Hovering Method at Any Selected Position over Space Target on Elliptical Orbit ZHU Ya-Wen, YAN Ye 2010, 30 (6):  17-23.  Abstract ( 3745 )   PDF (364KB) ( 2930 )   Save By implementing a continuous control acceleration, the relative position of a mission satellite to a target satellite can keep fixed during the mission. So the hovering flying at any selected position over a satellite on elliptical orbit is carried out. The relative motion was studied and the gravitation between the two satellites was researched. The formulae for radial, tangential and normal control acceleration required during the hovering flying mission were put forward. The numerical simulation for typical mission was conducted, and the energy requirements of the hovering spacecraft for different tasks were compared and analyzed. The results show that it is feasible to hover over a special target satellite within a period of time. References | Related Articles | Metrics

It can make realtime and precise orbit determination for spacecraft rendezvous and docking.CEI based real time orbit determination in the course of long distance navigation of spacecraft rendezvous and docking was discussed, and the method of absolute filter was adopted. The simulation results indicat that the method of fixing integer ambiguity after the filter is stable, and can improve the orbit precision. The relative position precision can reach the magnitude of 10m, and the relative velocity precision reaches the magnitude of 1cm per second. References | Related Articles | Metrics

In orbit Estimation of Satellite inertial matrix using STLS LIN Jia-Wei, WANG Ping 2010, 30 (6):  31-38.  Abstract ( 5715 )   PDF (384KB) ( 3109 )   Save Dynamics equations of inertial matrix estimation were deduced. The structured total least norm (STLN) algorithm was used to estimate the parameters. Theoretical analysis shows that the STLS solution is maximum likelihood estimate when the sensor noise is Gaussian. This method has two advantages over existing methods: sensor noise is considered and the consistency of the estimate is proved. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Radar Data Error-correction Technique Based on Hilbert-Huang Transform YU Hui, HU Shao-Lin, LI Ping 2010, 30 (6):  57-63.  Abstract ( 3260 )   PDF (436KB) ( 2063 )   Save Radar tracking always causes data errors, but the current error processing algorithms can not satisfy the need of error correction. To esitimate the unknown data errors efficiently and improve the precision of data processing, a residual error diagnosing method was proposed based on Hilbert-Huang transform arithmetic. By the analysis using the obtained intrinsic mode function, the characteristics of residual error were fitted, and the error information were separated accurately. Experiments using the actual radar data show that the method is more effective and practical than others for post-mission high-precision data processing. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Applications and Construction of the Structured LDPC Codes in Satellite Navigation System JIANG Ming, HE Shan-Bao, DOU Jin-Fang, ZHAO Chun-Ming, WANG Chen 2010, 30 (6):  64-71.  Abstract ( 4854 )   PDF (533KB) ( 2453 )   Save The structured low density parity check (LDPC) codes can be described by the base-matrices and lifting factors, which have low encoding/decoding complexity and good coding performance. Compared to the irregular LDPC codes specified in IS-GPS-800, the structured LDPC codes also can be encoded with linear complexity, where the parity bits are connected with dual-diagonal and “a-0-a” pattern. Moreover, it is very convenience for the structured LDPC codes to support the adaptive transmissions with various lengths using different lifting factors and pruning techniques, where the puncturing and shortening patterns can be easily optimized by PEXIT. Based on the construction method considering cycle conditions and ACE spectrums, a simple coding scheme using only one base-matrix was proposed which can support two different lifting factors and achieve various transmission lengths by puncturing and shortening. The simulation result show that the structured LDPC codes with optimized puncturing/shortening pattern achieve considerable performance gain over the irregular LDPC codes in IS-GPS-800. References | Related Articles | Metrics
