| 内容記述 | The pointing and control of experiments during sortie missions are examined from the standpoint of accuracy and performance. The effect of gimbal characteristics, pallet stiffness, and variation in the servo control loop are described. Simulation results are shown for a number of pointing options under the disturbing influences of man motion, thruster firings, and experiment operations. One option of particular interest is the suspended pallet which offers the possibility of high accuracy pointing of very large payloads without using conventional gimbals. The pallet is suspended within the payload bay by nonrigid attachments such as springs, thereby isolating experiments from most shuttle disturbances. Control moment gyros apply torques directly to the pallet to maintain pointing accuracy within the arc second range. Spring torques constrain shuttle attitude so thruster operation is not required. The suspended pallet approach will meet the base stability requirements of any sortie experiment and offers the possibility of a standardized low weight, low cost alternative to gimbaled mounts. |
