Spacecraft Energy Storage and Attitude Control Alkan ALTAY Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ozan TEKİNALP TUSAŞ Aerospace Industries Inc. Middle East Technical University Aerospace Engineering Dept.
Electrochemical Battery Packs Energy Storage in LEO Spacecrafts
Control Moment Gyroscope ( CMG ) Attitude Control in LEO Spacecrafts
IPACS - VSCMG A Variable Speed CMG ( VSCMG ) That Stores Energy IPACS Integrated Power and Attitude Control
FW - 30 FW - 60 FW - 240 CMG + Li-Ion RW + Ni-Cd RW + Li-Ion CMG +Ni-Cd Total Mass Comparison For Energy Storage and Attitude Control System Combinations Comparisons
Simulation of a S/C Equipped With IPACS 60 deg of roll maneuver is expected from the spacecraft while energy is being drawn from the IPACS-VSCMGs
Simulation Results • Smooth Maneuvering Capability • Both Attitude and Power Objectives Satisfied • - Uncoupled Power and Attitude Functions
Simulation Results • - We are able to follow any desired spin rate profile • - Low gimbal rates due to the high angular momentum content
