  • Publication number: 20190202582
    Abstract: When calculating a gimbal angle trajectory that satisfies boundary conditions set by an attitude boundary condition setter 2131 of the ground station 21, a gimbal angle trajectory calculator 2132 calculates the gimbal angle trajectory that minimizes a period of an acceleration interval within a range that satisfies driving restrictions of a gimbal, based on a gimbal angle ?0i of a start time and a gimbal angle ?ci of a fixed interval of an attitude change. Also, the gimbal angle trajectory is calculated that minimizes a period of a deceleration interval within a range that satisfies the driving restrictions of the gimbal, based on the gimbal angle ?ci of the fixed interval and a gimbal angle ?fi of a completion time of the attitude change. The obtained ?0i, ?ci, ?fi and an attitude change period ? are transmitted to the artificial satellite as gimbal angle trajectory parameters, and the control moment gyros are controlled based on the gimbal angle trajectory parameters.

  • Publication number: 20170369192
    Abstract: A satellite comprises thrusters disposed with the firing directions each facing away from the mass center of satellite and different from each other. A control amount calculator calculates control amounts of the mean orbital elements from the mean orbital elements and the temporal change rates of the mean orbital elements set by an orbit determiner, and the target values. A distributor calculates firing timings and firing amounts of the thrusters for realizing the control amounts of the mean orbital elements by expressing a motion of satellite with orbital elements, solving an equation taking into account coupling of an out-of-plane motion and an in-plane motion due to thruster disposition angles and thruster firing amounts at multiple times, and combining one or more thruster firings controlling mainly an out-of-the-orbit-plane direction and one or more thruster firings controlling mainly an in-the-orbit-plane direction.

  • Patent number: 9829998
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus, an input apparatus, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program that are capable of improving operability when a target object is selected on a screen are provided. A control apparatus is provided to which, when a button is pressed in a state where a pointer is indicating an area around an icon on a screen, a signal indicating that the button has been pressed and a signal of positional information of the pointer at that time are input, and the control apparatus performs movement control such that the pointer indicates the icon based on those signals. Therefore, even when the pointer is not directly indicating the icon, the icon can be indicated by indicating the area around the icon, thus improving operability in selecting the icon on the screen by the pointer.
