Abstract

Solar sailing is a new satellite propulsion technology using radiation pressure exerted by sunlight on a large mirrored surface. Since it does not need propellants, it is increasingly being considered by both the European Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for future science missions. An attitude control system is essential for a sail craft to maintain a desired orientation. IKAROS, launched in 2010, practically proved the possibility of using a solar sail as a propulsion system. However, it also showed the current sail orientation system could change the attitude very slowly, about 1 degree per day. In contrast to the existing single solar sail design, a new distributed four-sail configuration is proposed in this paper and the coordinated motion of the four sails is used to control the attitude pointing of a satellite. The feasibility and efficiency of this proposed design were assessed and concluded that it is possible to steer a CubeSat up to 1 degree in 60 seconds for either the roll or pitch axes.

太阳帆卫星姿态控制的一种新方法
太阳航行是一种利用太阳光在一个大镜面上施加辐射压力的新型卫星推进技术。由于它不需要推进剂,欧洲航天局和美国国家航空航天局越来越多地考虑将其用于未来的科学任务。姿态控制系统对风帆艇保持理想的航向是必不可少的。2010年发射的IKAROS实际上证明了使用太阳帆作为推进系统的可能性。然而,它也表明,目前的船帆定位系统可以非常缓慢地改变姿态,大约每天1度。与现有的单太阳帆设计不同,本文提出了一种新的分布式四帆结构,利用四帆的协调运动来控制卫星的姿态指向。对该设计的可行性和效率进行了评估,并得出结论,无论对俯仰轴还是俯仰轴,都可以在60秒内将立方体卫星转向1度。
