Publisher's Synopsis
The mathematical models of Glovebox Integrated Microgravity Isolation Technology (g- LIMIT) dynamics/control system, which include six degrees of freedom (DOF) equations of motion, mathematical models of position sensors, accelerometers and actuators, and acceleration and position controller, were developed using MATLAB and TREETOPS simulations. Optimal control parameters of G-LIMIT control system were determined through sensitivity studies and its performance were evaluated with the TREETOPS model of G-LIMIT dynamics and control system. The functional operation and performance of the Tektronix DTM920 digital thermometer were studied and the inputs to the crew procedures and training of the DTM920 were documented.Kim, Young K.Marshall Space Flight CenterMATHEMATICAL MODELS; DESIGN ANALYSIS; MICROGRAVITY; POINTING CONTROL SYSTEMS; OPTIMAL CONTROL; DYNAMIC CONTROL; THERMOMETERS; COMPUTERIZED SIMULATION; ACCELEROMETERS; ACTUATORS; DEGREES OF FREEDOM...
