Description
Summary:Engineering Test Satellite VI (ETS-VI) is a three-axis-stabilized satellite launched by National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) in August 1994. With a large and light solar paddles, ETS-VI is considered as a flexible satellite system from the control of view. Identification and attitude control experiments on orbit were planned as one of the bus experimental programs for ETS-VI, and carried out from December 1994 to March 1995. In this paper, some of the on-orbit attitude control experiments are presented. Attitude controllers were designed using I-PD control method based on the model obtained through analysis on the ground. According to the experiments, the controllers provided sufficient control performance which was perfectly predicted in advance through the simulation results.
