ELECTONICS RESEARCH PROGRAM. SATELLITE ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM EXPERIMENTS.

Abstract

The degradation of the pulsed performance of low-thrust, cold-gas, jet reaction systems is shown; also, the experimental data are compared with analytical results. Preliminary experimental results using anhydrous ammonia gas as a propellant are included. The experimentation conducted on a single-axis attitude control system utilizing a fluid flywheel is presented, along with an analysis of this system. The preliminary results of an analysis of the singleaxis vehicle simulator incremental follow-up servo are given. In addition, a specific impulse pneumatic test facility and a manned tracking target symbol generator are described. (Author)
