Active Vibration Control of a Maneuvering Flexible Spacecraft Using Hybrid Actuators: A Lyapunov-Based Control Approach

Milad َAzimi; Samad Moradi

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 1-13

Abstract
  This paper presents a study concerning active vibration control of a smart flexible spacecraft during attitude maneuver using thrusters and reaction wheels (RW) in combination and piezoelectric (PZT) sensor/actuator patches. The large-angle maneuver and residual vibration of the spacecraft are controlled ...  Read More

Satellite Status Control Using Tabulation Gain Controller in a Variable Parameter System

M. Navabi; F. Malekpour

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 15-25

Abstract
  In the variable parameter linear method, which is used to express systems with time-varying state-space matrices, the stability and performance of the feedback system are guaranteed, and there is a significant potential for improving efficiency. The dynamics of these systems depend on a variable parameter ...  Read More

Dimensional Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Simulation of Thruster Plumes

Hamed Alisadeghi; Azade Khadivi; Ehsan Zabihian

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 43-58

Abstract
  The interaction of thruster plumes with satellite components can have undesirable effects, such as disturbance force/torque, thermal loading, and species deposition in the surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to use the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method to analyze the 3D plume impingement ...  Read More

Experimental Study of Dynamic Stability for a Entry Capsule in Supersonic Flow

Mohsen Sargolzaie; Hamid Fazeli; Mohammadreza Soltani

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 71-80

Abstract
  Due to the lack of existence of control surfaces in entry capsules, the subject of static and dynamic stability is always important. In this paper, these coefficients are investigated experimentally for the case of forced oscillation at supersonic flow. In this experimental study, the effects of freestream ...  Read More

Effect of Simulated Microgravity Condition on Cells Proliferation and Myostatin Gene Expression in Differentiated Skeletal Muscle Cells (C2C12)

Narjes Rahmanian; Azadeh Hekmat; Zahra Hajebrahimi

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 81-92

Abstract
  Muscle atrophy is one of the problems that astronauts face after returning to earth. Myostatin is a known negative regulator of muscle growth. This study aimed to investigate the effects of simulated microgravity condition on mouse myotube cells (C2C12) growth and the myostatin gene expression. The morphological ...  Read More

Thermal Effects of the Space Environment on the Radiation Characteristics of a Reflector Antenna in LEO Spacecrafts

Fatemeh Asdaghpour; Fatemeh Sadeghikia; Mohammad Ali Farsi

Volume 15, Issue 2 , June 2022, Pages 103-113

Abstract
  Antennas, which are usually installed on the outer shell of these systems, are therefore always exposed to the thermal fluctuations of the space environment. Thermal fluctuations cause the antenna surfaces to expand, contract and distort and can cause the antenna to malfunction. In this paper, the effects ...  Read More
