Abstract: A freefloating space robot equipped with multiple reconfigurable manipulators is designed and investigated in this paper. Lockable passive cylindrical joints (PCJs) are utilized to make the manipulator have the ability of ...

Abstract: This paper studied the attitude tracking control of a spacecraft using variable speed control moment gyros (VSCMGs) as the actuator. The dynamics of the spacecraft with uncertainties was established. These uncertainties ...

Abstract: Gyroelastic body refers to a flexible structure with a distribution of stored angular momentum (called gyricity). In previous studies, it was assumed that each volume element of the structure possesses an infinitesimal ...
