    摘要: A spacecraft orientation procedure, in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, is practiced with a sun sensor to bring the x (roll) axis of the spacecraft parallel to a ray of the sun, and with a gyro sensor and an earth sensor of the spacecraft in conjunction with one instruction provided either autonomously or by a ground tracking station regarding an orientation of a spacecraft reference plane to enable locating the earth by the earth sensor. Furthermore, in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, the orientation is established without aid from the ground tracking station by use of at least one telemetry and command antenna having a continuous field of view, as measured in one plane, which is greater than a semicircle.' In the second embodiment, the orientation procedure provides for rotation of the spacecraft about the x axis for a scanning of the antenna to intercept command signals broadcast from the earth, thereby to locate the earth in a first reference plane. Rotation about the y (pitch) axis enables measurement of command signal strength for location of the earth in a second reference plane perpendicular to the first reference plane. Gyrocompassing establishes yaw in both embodiments of the invention.

    摘要: An onboard attitude control system is constructed to utilize a four reaction wheel system (10-13) having a reference axis, wherein at least three of the reaction wheel spin axes are oriented obliquely to the reference axis. Current attitude is estimated based on uploaded orbital data, onboard sensed earth and sun position data, and attitude data sensed by a three axes gyroscope system (9). Current attitude is compared to mission attitude to calculate an error which is transformed to a trihedral axes adjustment command to actuate the reaction wheel system.

    摘要: There is provided a method and system for simultaneous north-south stationkeeping and 3-axis momentum management for a geosynchronous orbiting spacecraft (1). The spacecraft (1) has a first thruster (4), a second thruster (5), and at least three momentum wheels (6) mounted on-board the spacecraft (1). The first (4) and second (5) thrusters are mounted adjacent to a north face (7) and a south face (8) of the spacecraft, respectively, on an anti-earth side of the spacecraft and are aligned to produce thrust vectors slightly off from the spacecraft's center of mass. The first (4) and second (5) thrusters are independently fired at predetermined positions along the geosynchronous orbital path of the spacecraft. The thrust vectors provide attitude and orbital adjustment needed to correct north-south orbital position deviation and provide torque needed to desaturate the stored angular momentum of the momentum wheels (6).

    摘要: A spacecraft (201) maintains its north-south positioning by using one of two pairs of single-gimballed throttled thrusters (221-224) on a face of the spacecraft (201). The throttles (118) and gimbals (116) of the thrusters (221-224) are controlled to produce torques on the spacecraft (201) that will maintain a desired attitude for the spacecraft (201) while simultaneously desaturating the momentum stabilizing wheels (120, 121) of the spacecraft (201).
