Determination of Aerodynamic Table Disturbances Acting on Microsatellite Control System Mock-Ups
Abstract:
A laboratory facility developed in KIAM allows to simulate microsatellite free planar motion due to aerodynamic cushion. Despite of disturbance caused by uneven surface of the table and the aerodynamic forces in the air flow free movement is not a translational straight. The determination of those distortions is presented in the paper
