Moek, G. (author)In this report, the application of estimation theory to three problems from aerospace research is described. The applications considered deal with spacecraft attitude estimation, software reliability modelling and estimation, and with a satellite-based navigation algorithm. Maximum likelihood estimation is used in the software reliability case...report 1991

Vogels, M.E.S. (author)One of the experiments performed on board Spacelab, involves a partially filled annular cylinder which is subjected to prescribed motions (Ref. 1). The interest in this configuration arises from its practical use; for instance, the coolant in IRAS was stored in an annulus-like tank. In this report, a mathematical model for the transient liquid...report 1984

van Woerkom, P.T.L.M. (author)Software design for digital computer simulation of the dynamics of flexible spacecraft equipped with actuators and sensors, should take into account two properties of the overall system: (i) s.ampled-data control of the spacecraft leads to discontinuous inputs (forcing functions) in the differential equations of motion, thereby requiring...report 1983

Prins, J.J.M. (author)Torque and force irregularities of running reaction wheels were studied. In this first part of the study report results from noise measurements at constant wheel speeds on various types of current technology European reaction wheels, both with ball- and magnet bearings and with DC or AC drive motor, are presented. The measured noise in radial...report 1982

Prins, J.J.M. (author)The increasing power of on-board processors allows more freedom in the design and operation of reaction wheel control systems. This report discusses several performance and implementation aspects of the operation of wheel systems which have their own internal feedback control system. A model following control concept is found to be superior. The...report 1982

van Woerkom, P.T.L.M. (author)The report deals with the equations of motion of spacecraft with rigid main body, flexible appendages, and rotors and jets on the main body. The hybrid coordinate modelling method is applied. The resulting equations describe the translational motion of the spacecraft, the rotational motion, and the coupling between these two types of motion. The...report 1981

van Woerkom, P.Th.L.M. (author), Sonnenschein, F.J. (author)The study deals with the rotational motion of a spin-stabilized spacecraft equipped with a V-slit sun sensor and the X-slit ESA starmapper. Assuming complete absence of an a priori attitude estimate, it is required to produce a rough estimate of the spacecraft attitude motion. It was assumed that sensor misalignments, external torques and...report 1979

van Woerkom, P.T.L.M. (author)The attitude motion of interplanetary, spinning spacecraft under the influence of solar radiation and optimal thrusting, is investigated. A general model is formulated to describe the forces and torques exerted on the spacecraft due to solar radiation. The model is compared with model! available in the large body of literature on the subject. It...report 1978

Boersma, G. (author), Sonnenschein, F.J. (author)Due to the finite stiffness of rotor- and gimbal-suspensions, a double gimballed momentum wheel will oscillate with high natural frequencies. The stability of these oscillations is studied, in order to obtain requirements for the stiffness of the suspensions and/or the gimbal inertia properties. From energy considerations, it is concluded that...report 1973
