Learning objectives
Main aim of this course is to introduce students to the field of control systems motivated by attitude control of space vehicles. Classical tools for analysis and design of linear control systems will be introduced and applied to attitude control of space vehicles.
Requirements
It is required that students know calculus and mechanics, as taught in undergraduate introductory courses.
Competences and learning outcomes
Students will learn mathematical results useful for analyzing and designing control systems with a special focus on attitude control systems for space vehicles.
Contents
Introduction to spacecraft attitude stabilization. Laplace transforms. Active attitude control for a spacecraft. Introduction to control systems. Attitude equation of spacecraft subject to planar motion. Proportional, Proportional-Derivative (PD), and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control laws. Routh's stability criterion. Transfer function. Block diagrams. The feedback control problem. Asymptotic stability specification. Modified PD control law.
Evaluation of the student’s training
Students will be evaluated trough an individual exam.
