Magnetic Detumbling of a Rigid Spacecraft
Abstract
In this paper, a control law that detumbles a spacecraft with magnetic actuators only is developed. A rigorous mathematical proof of global asymptotic convergence from arbitrary initial tumbling conditions to zero angular velocity in a time-varying magnetic field is derived. Furthermore, a simple criterion for determining a reasonable value of the control gain is developed. The selected gain results in a quasi-minimum time detumbling for different initial conditions, in the presence of magnetic coil saturation. Performance of the proposed detumbling control law is demonstrated by numerical simulations on a large set of test cases using a Monte Carlo approach.

In the citing paper
“In agreement with [Avanzini and Giulietti, 2012], although global asymptotic stability to a zero absolute angular rate is not attainable by means of the considered control law (Eq. [18]), it is possible to reduce the spacecraft's angular rate to a value of the same order as the orbit rate (~0.06 º/s ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
