Device for flywheel control of a satellite

摘要

It is intended to improve a satellite equipped with one or more flywheels (17) with respect to the control of the flywheel (17) such that unavoidable spin losses are compensated for. To this end, an ideal flywheel (16) which is determined by computation and is implemented using a model, is constantly compared with the actual flywheel (17), the actual flywheel (17) being slaved to the ideal flywheel (16). <IMAGE>
