Vreeburg, J.P.B. (author)The representation of the acceleration field on a rigid body contains as parameters its angular rate and acceleration vectors plus the acceleration vector at a single point of the body. A linear accelerometer measures a local component of the field. From the response of different accelerometers, three quadratic forms in the angular rate of the...report 1995

van Woerkom, P.T.L.M. (author)The objective of the study is to develop the equations of motion of a single link, flexible manipulator, attached to an orbiting spacecraft. A payload may be attached to the end-effector of the manipulator. Starting point is d'Alembert's principle, with displacements described by hybrid coordinates. The equations of motion for the two-body...report 1988

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
