Planning natural repointing manoeuvres for nano-spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper the natural dynamics of a rigid body are exploited to plan attitude manoeuvres for a small spacecraft. By utilising the analytical solutions of the angular velocities and making use of Lax pair integration, the time evolution of the ...

Large angle reorientation manoeuvre of spacecraft using robust backstepping control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The nonlinear control design problem for large angle reorientation manoeuvre of spacecraft has a proper structure for the direct application of backstepping design as its dynamics and kinematics are naturally in a cascade form.

An application of adaptive fault-tolerant control to nano-spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Since nano-spacecraft are small, low cost and do not undergo the same rigor of testing as conventional spacecraft, they have a greater risk of failure.

Spacecraft formation flying using bifurcating potential fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The distributed control of spacecraft flying in formation has been shown to have advantages over conventional single spacecraft systems. These include scalability, flexibility and robustness to failures.

Computationally light attitude controls for resource limited nano-spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Nano-spacecraft have emerged as practical alternatives to large conventional spacecraft for specific missions (e.g. as technology demonstrators) due to their low cost and short time to launch.

Safety Design for the China Space Station

open access: yesSpace: Science & Technology, 2023
The safety of a space station under normal and abnormal conditions can be ensured only by comprehensively identifying various hazards of the space station during its whole mission cycle and formulating control measures against each hazard.
