Spacecraft Dynamics and Control : A Practical Engineering Approach Paperback / softback
by Marcel J. (Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd) Sidi
Part of the Cambridge Aerospace Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Satellites are used increasingly in telecommunications, scientific research, surveillance, and meteorology, and these satellites rely heavily on the effectiveness of complex onboard control systems.
This 1997 book explains the basic theory of spacecraft dynamics and control and the practical aspects of controlling a satellite.
The emphasis throughout is on analyzing and solving real-world engineering problems.
For example, the author discusses orbital and rotational dynamics of spacecraft under a variety of environmental conditions, along with the realistic constraints imposed by available hardware.
Among the topics covered are orbital dynamics, attitude dynamics, gravity gradient stabilization, single and dual spin stabilization, attitude maneuvers, attitude stabilization, and structural dynamics and liquid sloshing.
