Definition Of

We consider rotational motion of an arbitrarily composed and shaped, deformable weakly self-gravitating body being a member of a system of N arbitrarily composed and shaped, deformable weakly self-gravitating bodies in the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity. Considering importance of the notion of angular velocity of the body (Earth, pulsar) for adequate modelling of modern astronomical observations, we are aimed at introducing a post-Newtonian-accurate definition of angular velocity. Not attempting to introduce a relativistic notion of rigid body (which is well known to be ill-defined even at the first post-Newtonian approximation) we consider bodies to be deformable and introduce the post-Newtonian generalizations of the Tisserand axes and the principal axes of inertia.

Optimal Turn

The problem of the time-optimal turn of a spacecraft as a rigid body with one axis of symmetry and bounded control function in absolute value is considered in the quaternion statement. For simplifying problem (concerning dynamic Euler equations), we change the variables reducing the original optimal turn problem of axially symmetric spacecraft to the problem of optimal turn of the rigid body with spherical mass distribution including one new scalar equation. Using the Pontryagin maximum principle, a new analytical solution of this problem in the class of conical motions is obtained. Algorithm of the optimal turn of a spacecraft is given. An explicit expression for the constant in magnitude optimal angular velocity vector of a spacecraft is found. The motion trajectory of a spacecraft is a regular precession. The conditions for the initial and terminal values of a spacecraft angular velocity vector are formulated. These conditions make it possible to solve the problem analytically in the class of conical motions. The initial and the terminal vectors of spacecraft angular velocity must be on the conical surface generated by arbitrary given constant conditions of the problem. The numerical example is presented. The example contain optimal reorientation of the Space Shuttle in the class of conical motions.
