Why is it important?
This paper presents the development of large CMGs for on-ground attitude maneuver tests. The sizing of the CMGs, the overall design of the CMG system, and the results of development tests are shown. The developed CMGs are mounted on a large “dynamics simulator” test facility, which can provide an on-ground test environment of three-axis free rotational motion via air floating. The maneuver demonstration tests are performed using a cluster of four CMGs. The results show that the CMG cluster is capable of maneuvering the dynamics simulator with high agility, and the gimbals are steered with accuracy. Finally, two kinds of feedforward control laws for agile and smooth maneuvers are proposed.
