Attitude Control of Cubesat in Single Axis by Fuzzy Logic Controller
(Avestia Publishing, 2017) Nazlibilek,S.; Kilickaya,O.G.; Tanyer,S.G.; Department of Mechatronics Engineering
Over the last two decades, satellites are getting smaller with increasing capabilities for space research. Small satellites (between 1 and 15 kg) show great promise as a low-cost option both in production and launching. In this work, attitude control problem for a cubesat is examined. A physical testbed is designed for simulation and testing in a single axis. Cubesat reaction wheel and the testbed are integrated, and fuzzy logic control software in Arduino Mega microprocessor environment is developed. The cubesat floor at the same axis of reaction wheel is tested and real-time measurement data are obtained. Step response and ramp response behaviours are analysed. © 2016 Avestia Publishing.
Special Overview of Space and Space Mechatronics
(2013) Nazlibilek,S.; Department of Mechatronics Engineering
In this paper, meaning of space mechatronics, space mechatronics technology area and future trends are discussed. The technology area on space mechatronics is mainly concentrate on electro-mechanical systems working in space environment. They are robotic systems developed specifically for use in space. The space environment can be characterized by some factors that are different from the earth conditions. They are temperature, vacuum, lack of gravity and high radiation. The mechatronic systems in space environment are such systems that they have parts that make movements relative to each other. They have the capability of mechanical movement in such environments. In this paper, we try to define space mechatronics and give information on this technology area.
