    摘要: In a nutation damper system comprising a pendulum (30, 33, 34, 38) swingable at a natural fequency and a block element (35) operable in cooperation with the pendulum to damp nutation having a nutation frequency, a control member (40) is electromagnetically coupled to the pendulum to vary the natural frequency to a forced frequency substantially equal to the nutation frequency. The control member comprises an electromagnetic coil supplied as a control signal with an electric current produced by a control signal circuit and proportional to a square of the nutation frequency. The block element may comprise either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet when a pendulum weight of the pendulum is of an electrical conductor. The electromagnet may intermittently be energized by a power source circuit. Alternatively, the block element may be of an electrical conductor when the pendulum weight is of a permanent magnet.

    摘要: A spacecraft (20) is adapted for orbital flight in two alternative modes, referred to as the earth-oriented and quasi sun-oriented modes. The spacecraft comprises a spacecraft body (21), at least one solar array (44, 46) extendible outwardly from the spacecraft body, passive attitude control means (58) utilizing gravity gradient stabilization means which is extendible and retractable relative to the spacecraft body (21), and active attitude control means (69, 71). The gravity gradient stabilization means (58) is effective when extended to stabilize the spacecraft in the earth-oriented mode, and the active attitude (69, 71) control means is effective to stabilize the spacecraft in the quasi sun-oriented mode.

    摘要: A digital system for controlling the attitude of a spacecraft (14), e.g., a satellite, with respect to three orthogonal axes. The system can control satellites (14) in parking orbit, transfer orbit, or final operational orbit, whether or not the satellite (14) employs one or more momentum wheels. A processor (2) converts weighted data from spacecraft sensors (12), representing angular orientation and angular velocities about each of the three axes, into thruster pulsetrain signatures to command the firing of each of six thrusters positioned about spacecraft (14). A positive and a negative thruster being positioned to impart both directions of angular momentum about each of the three axes. Each thruster pulsetrain signature is created once every processed error cycle period T1, and contains a varying number of pulses of varying widths. A negative feedback PWPF loop (2, 16, 20, 22, 24) is actuated for each of the three axes, preferably several times each Tl inorder to achieve better thrust on/off resolution. The PWPF loops are preferably implemented by digital means. Serial-out shift registers (44, 46) load the thruster pulsetrain signatures into means (48, 50, 52, 54) for firing the thrusters, preferably after splitting the signature pulses into clone pulses in order to minimize the impact of errors due to asynchronization between the clock which loads the registers (44, 46) and the clock which shifts these registers. Data extenders (40, 42) eliminate possible gaps caused by asynchronization, and thus prevent unwanted on/off thruster switching.
