After a brief general introduction to spacecraft attitude and orbit control, this talk addresses some typical and current control and estimation problems for satellite applications. We present
  • standard and advanced attitude control approaches based on PID, H-infinity, and feedback linearization, for reaction wheel (RW) and control moment gyro (CMG) actuator configurations
  • a method for hybridization of accelerometer and star tracker measurements,
  • approaches to deal with restricted, low-performance, or failed sensor information,
  • system identification of a solar array drive mechanism

Bio: Jochen Rieber works as system engineer at the company Airbus Defence and Space in Friedrichshafen since 2007, in the department for "Flight Dynamics, Attitude and Orbit Control Systems & Guidance, Navigation and Control". He studied Engineering Cybernetics at University of Stuttgart/Germany (diploma degree 2001) as well as Engineering Science and Mechanics at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta/USA (M.Sc. degree 2001). He obtained his PhD degree at the Institute for Systems Theory and Automatic Control at University of Stuttgart/Germany in 2006. In 2005, he was a visiting scientist  at the Delft University of Technology/Netherlands, working with Carsten Scherer. He teaches Control Engineering at Cooperative State University Friedrichshafen. His research interests are in the fields of dynamic systems modeling, uncertain and parameter-dependent systems, optimal and robust control, with applications in aerospace, robotics, mechatronics, and nano-technology.
