Abstract:Algorithms for determining the attitude and angular rate damping of the SamSat-218D nanosatellite developed at Samara State Aerospace University are described in the paper. The date of the prospective launching of the satellite into the Earth orbit from Vostochniy spaceport is April, 2016. A triaxial magnetometer and luminance sensors are used as sources of information in the orientation system. Three magnetic coils serve as actuators providing the angular rate damping onboard the nanosatellite. A known method… 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.
