Abstract:The need for a very high pointing accuracy and an extremely quiet on-board environment (micro-dynamic) has become an increasingly important issue in the most advanced space missions, such as the ARTEMIS telecommunication satellite. In the first part, this paper presents the activities carried out by Alenia Spazio (ALS) to analyze the effects of microvibrations on the satellite. In the second part, a feasibility study based on a smart structure is proposed to suppress the structural microvibrations. A numerical… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
