Feasibility of Novel Optimal Attitude Planning and Control algorithms for low cost spacecraft
Lead Participant:
CLYDE SPACE LIMITED
Abstract
This feasibility study will assess the practical implementation of novel motion planning algorithms within flight representative hardware for a minaturised ADCS, addressing the problem of performing minimum resource attitude manoevres within the limitations of available onboard processing capability, and sympathetic to small to nanosatellite sensing and actuation. The on-board optimal motion planner will enable small low-cost spacecraft to perform to the high-precision pointing capability of larger, more expensive, spacecraft. The aim is to develop control algorithms that enhance the capability of small spacecraft re-pointing capabilities that are affordable to a wider range of consumer
