1. Attitude Dynamics and Control for the Task Scheduling of Agile Earth Observation Satellites
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : This thesis deals with the scheduling problem for a constellation of Earth observation satellites, focusing on modelling the attitude dynamics to assess the tasking capabilities. A target selection algorithm is developed considering the time dependent manoeuvres between targets and the time-dependent value of the observed targets. READ MORE

4. Attitude control using ion thrusters for solar sailing from Low Earth Orbit to sub-L1
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibility of using gridded ion thrusters as a means of attitude control for a solar sail as a part of the sunshade project, which aims to place 10^8 solar sail sunshade spacecraft, each with an area of about 10 000 m^2, at the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L1 in order to reduce Earth's global temperature. Two types of solar sail sunshade spacecraft were studied. READ MORE

5. Improving the safe mode robustness of an Earth observation satellite
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : Airbus Defence and Space is developing an Earth observation platform. The payload of that platform is an optical instrument, which has to be protected from Sun dazzling in order to preserve its integrity. READ MORE
