This paper is dedicated to the attitude control law synthesis for GRACE-like missions.
Namely, two satellites move along the same orbit at a distance of several hundred …

Spacecraft operating in low orbit are at risk of being hit by space debris. In the debris
environment, the impact of debris is likely to cause the double satellite formation to exit …

The problem of attitude stabilization of a rigid body is under consideration. The issue of
realizing such a control system of the PID-controller type with distributed delay (integral …

The problem of fuel-less desaturation of reaction wheels for a spacecraft in the sun-
acquisition mode is considered. It is shown that there always exists angular motion in the …

The problem of attitude stabilization of a rigid body exposed to a nonstationary perturbing
torque is investigated. The control torque consists of a restoring component and a …

In this paper, the study of stabilization accuracy of a satellite equipped with a set of reaction
wheels (RW) is presented. The model of motion takes into account possible static and …

A rigid body forced by a nonstationary perturbing torque with zero mean value is under
consideration. The control strategy for attitude stabilization of the rigid body is based on the …

The motion of a spacecraft (SC) in an ultralow orbit at a height of 175 km is simulated. The
SC is equipped with a ramjet electric propulsion engine (REPE), which makes it possible to …

INFANTE is an ambitious Portuguese project of a small satellite for Earth observation using
synthetic aperture radar and multispectral camera. The mission is a precursor and a …

Abstract 3U CubeSat stabilization towards the Sun is analyzed. The satellite is equipped
with solar telescope of the vacuum ultraviolet spectrum. Stabilization of the optical axis of the …
