Last week, the members of our team participated in two conferences at a time. In Makhachkala, the first international conference "Problems of Mechanics and Control" has been organized, while Kaluga traditionally hosted the Tsiolkovsky Scientific Readings in commemoration of Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, the Russian father of rocketry. Here are the presentations from Makhachkala:
Yaroslav Mashtakov and Stepan Tkachev
Direct Lyapunov Technique for Attitude Control Under Constraints
Dmitry Roldugin, Mikhail Ovchinnikov, and Vladimir Pen'kov
Periodic Attitude Motion of a Satellite with Active Magnetic Control System
Anna Nuralieva, Stepan Tkachev, and Aleksey Shestoperov
Nonlinear Attitude Control Algorithms for a Satellite with Non-Rigid Construction Elements
Danil Ivanov
Study of Identification Algorithms for Oscillatory Motion of Flexible Spacecraft Elements
As a Chair of Spaceflight Mechanics session, Prof. Ovchinnikov gave a plenary talk about main astrodynamical aspects of modern small satellite missions. The Tsiolkovsky Readings in Kaluga were visited by Aleksey Shestoperov and Anna Nuralieva. Aleksey Shestoperov, Danil Ivanov, Mikhail Ovchinnikov, Stepan Tkachev, and Mark Shachkov
Laboratory Tests of Control Algorithms Using the Testbed for Microsatellite Motion Modeling
Aleksey Shestoperov and Stepan Tkachev
Nonlinear Control Algorithms for a Satellite with Large Non-Rigid Elements
Anna Nuralieva
Mathematical Model of Motion for a Satellite with Flexible Elements |
