DoD Task: 822503
Identifier: AD0439202
Abstract:
The application is studied of high moment-producing techniques for the attitude control of manned space vehicles which perform orbital transfer, rendezvous, and lifting re-entry maneuvers. The specific accomplishments were: (a) establishment of control system, subsystem and component requirements for critical vehicle flight phases, and (b) analysis of promising techniques for performing the flight control functions required during the various maneuvers. A hypothetical vehicle was selected and its space mission was analyzed to determine the attitude control requirements. The rendezvous and re-entry maneuvers were found to be especially demanding on the attitude control system.
