| Overview | Studies the dynamic modeling and control of spacecraft containing multiple momentum exchange devices, and/or flexible spacecraft components. Will develop feedback control algorithms, explore singularity avoidance strategies, and explore using analytical methods (Lagrange's equations, Boltzman Hamel equations) to model a hybrid rigid/flexible spacecraft system. Input shaped open-loop maneuvers are investigated to avoid large structural flexing. Pre: ASEN 5010 or equivalent, or permission of instructor (3H, 3C) |
