PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light artificial satellite antenna which does not have bad influence on a satellite orbit at the time of extension, and solve a problem of hardening after extension.
SOLUTION: The artificial satellite antenna comprises a shell structure 1 of an STEM type, and inflatable structure 2 functioning as an actuator for extension of the shell structure 1. A tube 6 of the inflatable structure 2 is arranged so as to be inserted in a hollow cylindrical part of the shell structure 1. The tube 6 is expanded by the pressure of gas supplied into the tube 6, and the shell structure 1 is extended by using the expanding force of the tube 6 as driving force. The artificial satellite antenna having merits of both antennas of the STEM type and the inflatable structure, and avoiding demerits of both antennas can be provided.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial satellite system which has uniform distribution both temporally and spatially in which the ground surface staying time of the on-ground locus of the satellite is taken into consideration.
SOLUTION: When the constellation to constitute the base of an artificial satellite system is to be set, the inclining angles of a number of artificial satellites are set variously so that staying time per unit of lattitudes of the satellite on-ground locus becomes uniform, and the temporal and spatial distributions of the on-ground loci are leveled. Accordingly the distribution of the on-ground loci covering all satellites is made uniform, and one or more satellites can be seen at all times from any point on the ground surface, and a global covering system with an effective number of satellites in use can be established.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the weight of a satellite, simplify its constitution, and reduce the price by measuring the roll angle with high accuracy from the low altitude region. SOLUTION: When the orbit altitude data are received from a satellite side, a command data inputting part 3 transmits the orbit altitude data to a signal processor 4. The signal processor 4 calculates 1/2tanθ or 1/tanθ based on the orbit altitude data from the command data inputting part 3. The attitude angle generating and processing function of a digital signal processing part 25 calculates the angle data based on the earth pulse from a comparator of an analog signal processing part 23, the satellite center reference signal from an encoder digital part 24, and one-pulse angle increment signal, and the roll output calculated from the angle data is multiplied by 1/2tanθ or 1/tanθ based on the value from the signal processor 4, and delivered to a signal conditioner 28. |

PURPOSE: To control the motions of both an artificial sattelite and a manipulator with high accuracy by estimating the driving torque to give the feedback control to the motion locus of the manipulator and adding the compensating and driving torques for manipulator to apply the feedback control to the joint torque of the manipulator.
CONSTITUTION: A servo compensator 10 estimates the driving torque to apply the feedback control to each joint angle of a manipulator 1. The estimated driving torque value is added to the compensating torque. Then a manipulator controller 2 applied the feedback control to the joint torque. Thus the compensating torque value is estimated in real time to an artificial satellite and the manipulator 1 with reflection of the motions of the present artificial satellite and manipulator 1. As a result, the highly accurate compensating torque value is obtained. Furthermore the feedback control is also carried out to the joint torque for drive of the manipulator 1. Then the highly accurate motion control is secured for both the artificial satellite and the manipulator 1.

A positioning system and method utilizing a plurality of artificial satellites, in which times of positioning time signals transmitted from at least four artificial satellites to a positioning available area are always made coincident with a standard time of a ground control station to maintain accuracy of the time. In the ground control station, phases of a receive PN code obtained from the time signal included in the positioning signal of the artificial satellite and a pseudo receive PN code obtained by delaying the standard time of the ground control station by a radio wave propagation time, measured in real time, corresponding to a range between the ground control station and the artificial satellite are compared, and from the detected time error, a time correction command signal is obtained and is transmitted to the artificial satellite to correct the time of the positioning time signal of the artificial satellite. As a result, the time of the positioning time signal can always be coincident with the standard time of the ground control station to maintain accuracy. As an original oscillator of the positioning time signals of the artificial satellites, a crystal oscillator can be used in place of an atomic clock. |

A method and apparatus for changing the orbit of an artificial satellite. The apparatus is caused to approach a target satellite and to be coupled thereto in space so as to constitute a dumbbell-like coupled system. The apparatus has a propulsion unit. The unit generates a thrust, whereby the velocity of the center of gravity of the apparatus increases, and the apparatus rotates around the center of gravity. As a result, the coupling system is placed in transition orbit.In the transition orbit, the coupled system is released at a timing when the direction of elongation of the coupled system becomes perpendicular to the orbital velocity vector. Subsequently, the target satellite is placed in a final target orbit, and the separated orbit changing apparatus is placed in an orbit different from the target orbit. |
