Title:
ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THRUST BALANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/003005
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A reaction wheel (110) detects an angular momentum amount. A satellite control device (120) selects an object cluster on the basis of the detected angular momentum amount. A power supply device (130) changes the adjustment power for the object cluster. A flow rate adjustment device (140) supplies propellant to the object cluster at a flow rate corresponding to the adjustment power. The thrust of the object cluster is thereby changed. When the discharge current of the object cluster does not satisfy a target current, the power supply device further changes the adjustment power to the object cluster.
