Aerodynamic Attitude Control in VLEO: Design and Verification (A05)
Subject Area
Automation, Mechatronics, Control Systems, Intelligent Technical Systems, Robotics
Term
since 2024
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 516238647
In this project, novel algorithms for satellite attitude control are developed that take aerodynamic forces and moments into account. For this purpose, two strategies are pursued in parallel, which are based on the measurement of disturbances and on data-driven approaches, respectively. For validation, verification methods are derived that combine nonlinear system theory with stochastic methods. The sensitivity of the control and verification to uncertainties in the environmental parameters will also be assessed.
