Attitude dynamics of gyrostat-satellites under control by magnetic actuators at small perturbations

摘要

The angular motion of gyrostat-satellites with one axial rotor is considered under control by magnetic actuators and at the action of small polyharmonic perturbations of the own dipole magnetic moment's components which are created proportionally to components of the angular velocity of the satellite. The attitude dynamics is investigated in conditions of the coincidence of the vector of magnetic induction of the external magnetic field and the initial angular momentum vector of the satellite. General and heteroclinic analytical solutions are obtained for dynamical parameters at the relative smallness of the magnetic torques. The chaotic regimes are examined on the base of the Melnikov method and Poincare sections. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
