DEVICE FOR FORMING PARAMETERS OF REGULAR PRECESSION OF SOLID BODY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: automatic conversion of standard parameters of turn (components of quaternion of turn) to required parameters of regular precession necessary for spatial turns of spacecraft. SUBSTANCE: device includes unit for determination of parameters of rotation around main inertial axis, control function computing unit, unit for determination of transversal components of unit vector of axis of precession, function analyzing unit, readiness signal shaping unit, switching unit and logic unit. Magnitudes obtained in conversion are stored in storage device. All operations pertaining to solving the system of complex transcendental equations and optimization of obtained magnitudes are performed automatically on element base by available means. Device is a functionally completed unit for spacecraft orientation and motion control systems. EFFECT: automation of conversion operations for forming required parameters. 2 cl, 10 dwg
