Approximation of Space Craft Geometry
Ares V payload bay dimensions and resulting individual spacecraft approximation, m=300 kg
Attitude Determination
• Control the craft WRT some reference frameSensor Typical Performance Weight Range (kg) Power (W)
Inertial Measurement (Accelerometers and Gyros)
Gyro drift rate = 0.003 – 1 deg/hourLinearity = 1-5 e-6 g/g2 over 20-60 g
1 – 15 10-200
Sun Sensors Accuracy = 0.005 to 3 degrees
0.1 – 2 0 – 3
Star Sensors (Scanners and Mappers)
Attitude Accuracy = 0.0003 – 3 degrees
2 – 5 5 – 20
Horizon Sensors1) Scanner / Pipper2) Fixed Static Head
Attitude Accuracy = 1) 0.1 – 1 degree (LEO)2) <0.1 - .25 degree
1) 1 – 42) 0.5 to 3.5
1) 5 – 102) 0.3 – 5
Magnetometer Attitude Accuracy = 0.5 – 3 degrees
0.3 – 1.2 < 1
Attitude Determination
• High TRL and simplicity is preferred• Combination of sensors for initialization and
redundancy– GPS to initialize star sensors– Star sensors are very common and have a high TRL– 2 attitude determination sensors
• Information is shared among other systems
Attitude Control
• Quantify disturbance environment
• Size actuators– Reaction Wheels– Thrusters
Disturbance Type Disturbance Quantification (Nm)Gravity Gradient 0Solar Radiation 6.41e-5Magnetic Field 4.05e-5Aerodynamic 4.78e-5
Total Disturbance (Td) 1.524e-4

Guidance
• Guidance = Orbit Control• Autonomous on-station control– Constellation maintenance– Fast control in debris field– Maneuvers while out of contact
• Ground based “special case maneuvers”– Debris deorbiting– Orbital transfers– End of life maneuvers
• Semi-Autonomous Control System
Navigation
• Navigation = Orbit Determination
• Global Positioning System– Position and velocity
information– Real time data– Possible inertial
navigation outside LEO• Orbits can be propagated
using E.O.M.
