Title: Improvements in oscillation damping system for spare vehicles
IPC: B64G1/38
Filed: 1965-06-11
Abstract: 1,091,307. Automatic attitude control. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. June 11, 1965 [June 18, 1964], No.24819/65. Heading G3R. Deviations in the attitude of a space vehicle about an axis are detected by the differential effect on two radiation detectors which control the speed and direction of rotation of a mass to restore the vehicle, by reaction, to a desired attitude, the vehicle being also self-orienting by direct reaction with the source of radiant energy. As described, a space vehicle is provided with two polished aluminium panels arranged symmetrically at an angle to each other so that pressure due to solar radiation turns the vehicle to an equilibrium position. Photo-cells are arranged on each side of the vehicle so that they are shaded by a mask when the vehicle is in the equilibrium position. Deviation of the vehicle in one sense or the other from the equilibrium position exposes one or other of the photo-cells to solar radiation and causes a current to flow in a corresponding sense through a conducting fluid such as mercury arranged in a magnetic field. The consequent flow of the fluid round a conduit loop produces a reaction on the vehicle to correct its attitude deviation. The correction period due to the circulating fluid is much shorter than that due to the direct effect of radiation on the panels and the mass of the fluid is chosen to produce a critical damping effect. Use of a flywheel instead of circulating fluid is referred to. The photo-cells may be arranged so that the correction is less or non-existent for small attitude deviations. Other photo-cells may be arranged on the reverse side of the vehicle to assist the correction of tumbling. Further similar systems may be added to stabilize the attitude of the vehicle about other axes.
