| Description | The stability of stochastic satellites and the stability and control of flexible satellites were investigated. The effects of random environmental torques and noises in the moments of inertia of spinning and three-axes stabilized satellites were first compared analytically by four methods and by analog simulations. Among the analytical methods, it was shown that the Fokker-Planck formulation yields predictions which most coincide with the simulation results. It was then shown that the required stability criterion of a satellite is quite different from that obtained by a deterministic approach, under the assumption that the environmental and control torques experienced by the satellite are random. Finally, it was demonstrated that, by monitoring the deformations of the flexible elements of a satellite, the effectiveness of the satellite control system can be increased considerably. |
