“…A gimbaled TVC can be also employed for a solar-sail spacecraft (32) . The gimbaled nozzle (gimbaled thruster) can be very useful in preserving weight, simplifying the attitude control system and reducing the requirements of the CM positioning accuracy (3,4,28) . It should be noted that in large and massive spacecraft or launchers with a liquid propellant rocket, several heavy and complex components as well as fuel tanks are located in the body not presented (or attached) at the rotatable nozzle.…”

In this paper, a novel thrusting manoeuvre control scheme is proposed for a small spacecraft which is based only on the gimbaled thrust vector control (TVC) system. The spacecraft structure is composed of a body and a gimbaled thruster where common attitude control systems such as reaction control system (RCS) and spin stabilisation are not employed. A nonlinear two-body model is considered for the characterisation of the gimbaled-nozzle spacecraft where the gimbal actuator provides the only active control input. The spacecraft attitude is affected by a large exogenous disturbance torque which is generated by a thrust vector misalignment from the centre of mass (CM). To achieve some performance goals in the both transient and steady-state modes, a new control scheme is derived based on the combination of two linear and nonlinear controllers. The proposed method ensures the attitude and thrust vector stability during an impulsive orbital manoeuvre while eliminating and rejecting an exogenous disturbance torque. The numerical simulations illustrate the applicability of this method for using in a small spacecraft and its efficiency in sustained operation.

“…Following what is more traditional in liquid-propellant TVC systems, a gimbaled platform is considered, as seen in [1,5,7,[29][30][31]33]. As an alternative to this conventional design, the second part of this chapter proposes a homokinetic connection between the base and the moving table.…”
