Ballbot-Inspired orbital refueling depot and fluid-slosh effects on Spacecraft attitude dynamics
Orbital refueling has become a subject of increasing interest as longer, deep space missions and manned missions to the Moon and Mars are being contemplated once again. For fueling depots to become part of the infrastructure in space capable of enhancing deployment and service operations, there rema...

For fueling depots to become part of the infrastructure in space capable of enhancing deployment and service operations, there remains a slew of technical, operational, and engineering challenges which must be overcome. In this thesis, focus is placed mainly on the issue of fluid slosh and its effects on the spacecraft dynamics and the design of an attitude control system.

The satellite is comprised of two primary elements: a spherical tank, containing the fuel payload and a cuboid bus, containing the attitude control system (ACS) and other subsystems.

| description |
Orbital refueling has become a subject of increasing interest as longer, deep space missions and manned missions to the Moon and Mars are being contemplated once again. For fueling depots to become part of the infrastructure in space capable of enhancing deployment and service operations, there remains a slew of technical, operational, and engineering challenges which must be overcome. In this thesis, focus is placed mainly on the issue of fluid slosh and its effects on the spacecraft dynamics and the design of an attitude control system. In pursuit of overcoming the attitude tracking errors and instability from the fluid slosh, a novel satellite design is presented based on an omnidirectional ball-balanced robot (ball-bot) which aims at minimizing the control effort required to stabilize the satellite while also maximizing the amount of fuel it can carry. The satellite is comprised of two primary elements: a spherical tank, containing the fuel payload and a cuboid bus, containing the attitude control system (ACS) and other subsystems. The satellite bus is mobile and can displace itself over the surface of the sphere and has a sunshield which is deployed in orbit which shields the spherical tank from solar radiation. The cube is mobile and can displace itself on the surface of the sphere to point to the sun ensuring the protection of the fuel payload. A presentation of the state-of-the-art of orbital fuel depots is first presented, and subsequently, a contextualization of orbital dynamics, along with the mathematical modeling of the satellite, is carried out, complemented by a discussion about the limitations of the work and the assumptions of the model. A simulation of the satellite¿s dynamics with the fluid slosh is conducted using Simulink and the sun-tracking of the cuboid-bus with Mathematica. Finally, a set of conclusions are presented and recommendations for future research and improvements, based on the conclusions, are made. |
