Description:The performance characteristics of the general class of earth-oriented spacecraft controlled by a gimbaled-reaction-wheel-scanner attitude-control system are presented. Stability thresholds are analytically determined for this general class of vehicle in terms of its six system parameters. System stability in the presence of periodically varying pitch-momentum bias is considered, and a technique is established for the analysis of the general linearized equation set when it contains periodically time-varying coefficients. A comprehensive numerical study is performed, and the study concludes with an attempt at the analytic determination of stability thresholds for a system with a variational pitch-momentum bias. Also considered is system performance in the presence of a realistic disturbance torque model. A factor-of-merit function is established, and a method is presented that allows a potential user the means of choosing a "best" set of system parameters from a large six-dimensional array of possible parameters. Finally, this report concerns itself with the validation of the results obtained using a linearized time-invariant equation set. The validation procedure makes use of linear and non-linear digital computer simulations and the Floquet stability criterion technique.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
