Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a maneuver device for an artificial satellite, which causes small attitude error during maneuver and which requires a shorter period of setting time for obtaining a target attitude. The maneuver device is provided with: a feed forward torque instruction signal generator 8 which outputs a feed forward torque instruction signal 11 based on a maneuver plan; a thruster 10 which outputs control torque based on the feed forward torque instruction signal 11; and an attitude control signal calculator 6 to which an attitude angle and an angular velocity of the artificial satellite as well as a target attitude angle and a target angular velocity are input and which outputs an attitude control signal 13. The maneuver device is further provided with a disturbance compensating signal calculator to which the feed forward torque instruction signal 11 and a detected angular velocity signal 16 are input, and which generates and outputs a disturbance compensating signal 12. The maneuver device is yet further provided with a reaction wheel 7 which generates control torque based on the attitude control signal 13 and the disturbance compensating signal 12.
