Application of Compensation Wheel on Satellite

Abstract:

Some satellites employ payloads with rotating parts of which the motion degrades satellite stability and pointing accuracy. In this paper, to satisfy satellite attitude requirement, a system using two compensation wheels to counteract space turntable momentum is presented, which adopts mechatronics design and considers the inertia property variation of rotating part. A double closed loop controller is introduced for this compensation system. The system analysis and simulation are given, and the simulation results reveal this system has a satisfied performance.
