COURSE OUTLINE : This course is designed to introduce the participants the rotational kinematics first. Then it introduces the subject matter of satellite/rigid body rotational dynamics comprehensibly. Finally, the attitude control of satellite using reaction wheels, control moment gyros, magnetic/Lorentz force actuators, and thrusters are introduced.
ABOUT INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Sinha is a Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and involved in research on satellite dynamics and control, Aircraft Dynamics and Control. He has contributed by solving some more than five decades old prob- lems related to magnetically actuated satellite control. He also contributed to the fighter aircraft development by our defense agencies
