Abstract

See full text

A satellite includes a plurality of thrusters disposed about the satellite, each of the plurality of thrusters having a minimum thruster firing time, and a control circuit connected to the plurality of thrusters. The control circuit is configured to identify violations of the minimum thruster firing time in a non-compliant thruster firing pattern selected to achieve a specified movement, generate a plurality of compliant thruster firing patterns by replacing each of the violations of the non-compliant thruster firing pattern by zero and a minimum time in different combinations, select a compliant thruster firing pattern from the plurality of compliant thruster firing patterns to produce a satellite movement that is within a predetermined range of the specified movement, and cause the plurality of thrusters to fire according to the compliant thruster firing pattern.
