“…Using similar principle, it is possible to design cascaded maneuvers. For example, in [12] we designed the sequence, where the spacecraft performed all-axes inversions "parade". With the simplicity of the required control, involving only exiguous/paltry number of IM control actions, it is believed that the systems with IM could find wide application in autonomous small spacecraft.…”

“…The current work aims to contribute to the application of VR in spacecraft attitude dynamics, in particular, to the systems, enabling "Inertial Morphing (IM)": IM with exiguous/paltry number of IM control actions is a new concept, proposed by the authors in 2017 and applied to the spacecraft attitude control [9,10]. The exiguous control enables swift control, requiring minimized energy and computations, and allows design of the fully autonomous future space missions [11,12].…”

The chapter aims to contribute to the application of virtual reality (VR) in spacecraft attitude control for systems, possessing “Inertial Morphing (IM)” capabilities.The concept of IM, proposed/applied by authors in 2017, is attractive in design of the fully autonomous future space missions, as swift control, requiring minimized energy and computations, can be achieved with exiguous/paltry morphings. To assist rapid planning of the optimized maneuver scenarios, we propose collocated merging of the various VR simulation worlds for the same spacecraft or merging of the VR worlds for the same system (but in different configurations). This enabled concurrent utilization of different methods of modeling, including Poinsot’s and Bine’s construction and Euler’s equations. Therefore, superimposed VR worlds are called “conjugated.” We present the classical methods of modeling of the torque-free systems and then show their implementation in the developed VR-integrated interactive package. Effectiveness of the VR-conjugated environment is illustrated with its use for planning of spacecraft de-tumbling, spacecraft 180-degrees inversion, and 90-degrees inversion. The developed VR environment enables utilization of both the body-axes spacecraft coordinate system and inertial coordinate system with instant transition from one into another, switching on/off various virtual reality worlds for multiple supports in the process of mission design.

“…By adjusting the take-off angle and strength, the researchers increased the robot's tendency to pitch down and made it somersault forward, making it flip to a stable landing attitude [10]. In the literature, a method of controlling the reversal of a rotating spacecraft is proposed [11]. This method is facilitated by the Dzhanibekov effect or the intermediate axis theorem (IAT) [12,13].…”

In recent years, the research of planetary exploration robots has become an active field. The jumping robot has become a hot spot in this field. This paper presents a work modelling and simulating a three-legged jumping robot, which has a powerful force, high leaping performance, and good flexibility. In particular, the jumping of the robot was simulated and the landing buffer of the robot was analyzed. Because this jumping robot lacks landing buffer, this paper verifies a method of absorbing landing kinetic energy to improve landing stability and storing it as the energy for the next jump in the simulation. Through the landing simulation, the factors affecting the landing energy absorption are identified. Moreover, the simulation experiment verifies that the application of the intermediate axis theorem helps to absorb more energy and adjust the landing attitude of the robot. The simulation results in this paper can be applied to the optimal design of robot prototypes and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent research.

“…The orbital flights of men in space and their experimental investigations manifested the phenomenon of the rotational and cyclic inversions of the spinning objects. This phenomenon under the condition of the free flight of the spinning object shocked physicists because, at first sight, this effect contradicted the principles of classical mechanics [1][2][3][4]. The physicists and mathematicians of the entire world study this unusual effect [5][6][7][8].…”

The opening up of space flights is going on with physical discoveries. One of them was a spinning object cyclic inversion revealed on the MIR space station classified in 1985. Later, the NASA International Space Station openly showed the same effect. This physical effect was an object of stare studying by physicists and mathematicians. They developed only approximated and numerical models on the level of assumptions. The inversion of the spinning objects in the condition of free flight is the subject of gyroscope theory. The mass of the spinning object at the orbital flight generates the system of the interrelated inertial torques that results from the action of the inertial torques produced by the curvilinear motion of the object around the earth. This system of the torques acting on the spinning object at an orbital flight manifests its cyclic inversions, which is the gyroscopic effects. The theory of the gyroscopic effects describes the method of application of the system of the inertial torques, the physics of all gyroscopic effects that manifested by any rotating objects under any condition of their motions.
