5. Improving the guidance, navigation and control design of the KNATTE platform
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : For complex satellite missions that rely on agile and high-precision manoeuvres, the low-friction aspect of the space environment is a critical component in understanding the attitude control dynamics of the spacecraft. The Kinesthetic Node and Autonomous Table-Top Emulator (KNATTE) is a three-degree-of-freedom frictionless vehicle that serves as the foundation of a multipurpose platform for real-time spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop experiments, and allows emulation of these conditions in two dimensions with the purpose of validating various guidance, navigation, and control algorithms.
