7 Dezembro 2021, 08:00 André Maria da Silva Dias Moitinho de Almeida

:: Sensors and actuators
- Types of sensors (Earth, Sun, stellar, inertial, magnetic, GPS)
- Types of passive actuators (rotation, gravity, magnetic, shock absorbers)
- Types of active actuators (reaction wheels, gyros, propellers, magnetic torque rods)


Attitude Determination and Control Systems (III)

2 Dezembro 2021, 08:00 André Maria da Silva Dias Moitinho de Almeida

:: Control strategies
- Gravity gradient stabilization
- Mono-axial, dual-spin
- Tri-axial rotation

:: Disturbing torques
- External: gravitational gradients, solar pressure, magnetic, dragging etc.
- Internal: misalignments, movements of appendages, movements of liquids, etc.
- Secular
