In general, each structural connector includes at least a pair of members extending outwardly from and substantially perpendicular to a body of the structural connector, the members spaced apart from one another so as to form a recess therein between. In some embodiments, the recess may be sized and shaped for receiving supporting members including the likes of stringers and support plates. | 2011-10-13 |
20110248120 | PRECISION ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR GIMBALED THRUSTER - A system for providing attitude control with respect to a spacecraft is provided. The system includes a reaction wheel control module configured to control a number of reaction wheel assemblies associated with the spacecraft in order to control attitude, and a maneuver control module configured to use a number of gimbaled Hall Current thrusters (HCTs) to control the total momentum associated with the spacecraft. The total momentum includes the momentum associated with the reaction wheel assemblies and the angular momentum of the spacecraft. Using the gimbaled HCTs to control the momentum associated with the reaction wheel assemblies results in minimal HCT gimbal stepping. | 2011-10-13 |
