Method and integrated system for the torque control and energy storage for a space vehicle

摘要

The energy storage is effected kinetically. The system includes a first feedback loop with a time constant tau 1 including a regulator connecting the supply busbar to a device for controlling momentum wheels used for the kinetic energy storage and the torque control. A second feedback loop, of time constant tau 2, transmits velocity data omega from the momentum wheels to a processing unit, constituted by a microprocessor, which controls the wheel actuating device. A third feedback loop, of time constant tau 3, supplies the processing unit with the data regarding the torque required by the satellite piloting device.
