Course description
Spacecraft, especially artificial satellites, will be explained. Attitude expression and rotational motion, classification of stabilization method, control method based on classical control and modern control theories will be lectured. The stability condition, spin speed control and spin axis control of passive spin-stabilized satellites will be explained, focusing on the relationship with attitude representation. Classification of triaxial satellites, their rotational motion characteristics, and attitude control are lectured for each classification.
Expected Learning
It is required to understand the attitude representation, control methods, attitude control devices, disturbance torque acting on the artificial satellite, and the operation principle of attitude sensors. It is required to learn and understand equations of rotational motion of the artificial satellite and the control methodology for designing the artificial satellite attitude control.
Pass criterion for this lecture is to exceed 60 points with respect to the total points of the report evaluation score and the final exam score.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy:
See the Curriculum maps.

Assessment/Grading
Report evaluation weight: 30%, final exam weight: 70%
The report task is imposed on one-third of the content of the lecture (contents of the spin stabilized satellite).
The final examination is conducted for the remaining two thirds of lecture contents.
Message from instructor(s)
The most of contents will be lectured in form of the traditional lecture style, but I will show demos with CG animation, MATLAB (Simulink) as appropriate so that students can visually understand the motion that the equations of motion mean.
Students are highly advised to study the lectured topics in detail at the library and through the Internet by themselves.
Course keywords
attitude representation, spin-stabilized satellite, triaxis attitude control satellite, attitude control actuators, attitude sensors
Office hours
Questions will be received at the classroom after each day for lectures or via email.
