AbstractA two-step identification method is proposed, both the moment of inertia and the mass properties are identified. A new index parameter which is different from the commonly used condition number is first defined for designing the optimal excitation. A method is introduced based on the least squares algorithm. Detailed mathematical equations and numerical analysis are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can identify the mass parameters of spacecraft.

Abstract In this paper, a new method to fast compute DFT of generally sparse signals is presented. Firstly, the original signal is downsampled with different time shifts, and the discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs) of downsampled signals are calculated by FFT. Then the DFTs are used to determine and measure the K non-zero (significant) freq. grids by combining the moment preserving problem with the BigBand method. The proposed method is hardware-friendly, and simulation results show that the proposed method has better recovery performance compared with other methods.

Most measuring methods used now can only measure the rigid body’s six inertial parameters like the moment of inertia, the product of inertia and the centre of inertia toward to two-dimensional reference system. So a new method which can measure all the nine inertial parameters toward to three-dimensional reference system is proposed. The moment of inertia of object rotating the axis is obtained by energy decay method. Through using the translation and rotation transformation theory of product of inertia, the formula of moment of inertia including the information of product of inertia and centre of inertia is deduced. Then equations are built to solve all the parameters. Furthermore, a measuring instrument is designed based on the aerostatic bearing. Results show that this new method is available and by analyzing the experimental data, suggestions are made to improve this measuring method.

Consideration has been given to orbit transfers involving spacecraft rendezvous which belong to a class of coplanar non-intersecting near-circular orbits of a spacecraft and a space station. The duration of the transfer is assumed to be limited by one orbit. The feasibility of a rendezvous using an optimal two-burn orbit-to-orbit transfer is studied. To determine a single free parameter of the transfer, i.e. the time of its start, ensuring a rendezvous at a given time or at a given velocity at the end of transfer, appropriate equations have been obtained To implement in the guidance algorithms optimal three-burn correction programs are proposed to achieve a rendezvous at a given time with a specified relative velocity at the moment of spacecraft contact. A range of phase differences at the start of maneuvering is determined, within which the characteristic velocity of the rendezvous is equal to the minimum characteristic velocity of the orbit-to-orbit transfer. The paper presents simulation results for “quick" rendezvous profiles that use the proposed programs. Key words: spacecraft, orbital station, “quick” rendezvous, orbit transfer, rendezvous program.

In this paper, we present the end-to-end performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward variablegain relaying system over Mixture Gamma distribution. Novel closed-form expressions for the probability density function and the moment-generation function of the end-to-end Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are derived. Moreover, the average symbol error rate, the average SNR and the average capacity are found based on the above new expressions, respectively. These expressions are more simple and accuracy than the previous ones obtained by using generalized-K (KG) distribution. Finally, numerical and simulation results are shown to verify the accuracy of the analytical results.
