Spacecraft Dynamics and Control: The Embedded Model Control Approach

Spacecraft dynamics and control: The Embedded Model Control approach provides an uniform way of approaching space engineering control problems from the stand point of model based control, using state equations as the key dynamic model both for simulation, design and implementation. The book introduces model-based control design methodology for spacecraft attitude and orbit control; not only model-based estimation and control algorithm design, but the inclusion of the spacecraft and environment dynamics as the core of the implemented control algorithms, which is referred to as the embedded (or internal) model. Embedded model and noise estimator constitute a closed-loop state predictor to be stabilized by the estimator gains. Kalman filter optimization may be adopted under certain restricted assumptions.The book also presents two appendixes in which the state equation machinery is fully exploited and introduced. This book is indispensable for researchers and practitioners in the field of control engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and applied mathematics. Includes exercises within the text and not separated at the end of the chapter for better understanding, training and applicationProvides an uniform way of approaching space engineering control problems from the stand point of model based controlPresents method for including environment perturbations in the control unit embedded model and for estimating perturbation derivatives in presence of measurement noiseMatlab Simulink code available for modeling, simulating and analyzing multidomain dynamic systems INDICE: 1.
