We consider the problem of designing distributed controllers for a class of systems which
can be obtained from the interconnection of a number of identical subsystems. If the state …

The problem of motion of a rigid body about a fixed point is one of the classical problems of
mechanics, the study of which in the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries is connected with the …

Four geomagnetic field models are discussed: IGRF, inclined, direct and simplified dipoles.
Geomagnetic induction vector expressions are provided in different reference frames …

The gravity-assist manoeuvre is a technique in which a spacecraft changes its orbital energy
and angular momentum by a close-approach with a celestial body. The result is a great …

UNISAT-4 is the fourth educational microsatellite, completely designed and built by students
and professors of the research group GAUSS (Gruppo di Astrodinamica dell'Università degli …

Asymmetrical spin stabilized satellite dynamics in the vicinity of the required motion is
considered. The principal axis of the maximum moment of inertia slightly deviates from its …

Проблема движения твердого тела относительно неподвижной точки является одной
из классических задач механики, исследование которой в XVIII–XIX веках связано с …

In this paper, we consider the problem of designing a distributed controller for a formation of
spacecraft following a periodic orbit. Each satellite is controlled locally on the basis of …

In this technical note, we consider the problem of designing distributed controller for a
continuous-time system composed of a number of identical dynamically coupled …

The capability to routinely perform autonomous docking is a key enabling technology for
future space exploration, as well as assembly and servicing missions for spacecraft and …
