Title:

DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ATTITUDE OF SPACECRAFT AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING CMG GIMBAL ANGLE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/208504

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention is configured such that (n-3) gimbal angles among n gimbal angles corresponding to n control moment gyros (CMGs), where n (an integer of 4 or more) is the number of CMGs, are set as free parameters, and using an algebraic equation indicating the relationship among the 3 gimbal angles among the n gimbal angles, the free parameters, and the angular momentum of all of the CMGs, the algebraic equation is solved while varying the free parameters within a set range, whereby the solution is found for the gimbal angles of the plurality of CMGs required to achieve a given angular momentum.
