  1. Amanda Kelly Michael Davies Patrick Smith Brad Steinfeldt Shara Walenta Chad Zaruba Performance Test of a Fluidic Momentum Controller in Three Axes External Advisory Committee Meeting October 23, 2003

  2. European Space Agency Momentum Wheel International Space Station Control Moment Gyro (CMG) Motivation for Fluidic Momentum Controller (FMC) Conventional Spacecraft Attitude Controllers Performance Test of a Fluidic Momentum Controller in Three Axes External Advisory Committee October 23, 2003

  3. Goals for the FLOAT Team • Ultimate Goal of Research • A successful test will provide motivation for increased research into FMCs • KC-135 Test Objective • To design a control system that, after an initial disturbance, will be able to return the apparatus to its original position within 20 seconds Performance Test of a Fluidic Momentum Controller in Three Axes External Advisory Committee October 23, 2003

  4. Accelerometers • Read acceleration rates of 6 faces • Input voltages to control system corresponding to accelerations • FieldPoint • Stand-alone control system • Integrated modular input/output distributor • 3 modules • Control module • Input module • Output module • Batteries • Supply power to control module • Control module distributes and regulates power • Fluid Loops and Pumps • Accelerate Fluid to generate a change in angular momentum • Apply torques over time to negate disturbance effects
