Intersatellite and Downlink Agile Attitude Maneuvers by Massimo Posani, Mauro Pontani, Paolo Gasbarri

“…In this study, we use an inertia-free nonlinear attitude control algorithm based on rotation matrices and possessing remarkable stability properties, in conjunction with a pyramidal array of single-gimbal control momentum gyroscopes. Numerical simulations, in both nominal and nonnominal flight conditions, demonstrate that the attitude control architecture proposed in this work is effective for the purpose of performing agile attitude maneuvering, aimed at precise pointing during downlink and intersat data routing.…”

Design of a Multiple Folded-Beam Disk Resonator with High Quality Factor by Xiaopeng Sun, Xin Zhou, Lei Yu, Kaixuan He, Dingbang Xiao, Xuezhong Wu

“…Meanwhile, a small initial frequency split of the order-3 working modes endows the resonator with great potential for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes application. Moreover, the experimental quality factor of resonators with different beam widths and relevant temperature experiment indicate that the dominating damping mechanism of the multiple folded-beam disk resonator is no longer thermoelastic damping.…”
