This paper presents design, analysis and performance verification test of student microsatellite Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS) . ADCS design and implementation procedure contains several various steps. There are four main test levels during simulation called “Model-in-the-Loop”, “Software-in-the-Loop”, “Processor-in-the-Loop” and “Hardware-in-the-Loop”. This paper is a result of scientific and practical research during two years, on the student microsatellite, which is an eight-nation collaboration project among Asia-Pacific universities. In what follows, “Model-in-the-Loop” and “Processor-in-the-Loop” test and simulation will be discussed. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the result of these two tests and validate the ADCS design. In the end, it is demonstrated that designed control algorithms are precise enough to meet the student microsatellite ADCS requirements and they can be used in the next level of microsatellite development.

Orbital parameters are raised as one of the main inputs of electrical power subsystem and thermal control subsystem of a satellite. Some variables such as eclipse time, sun incidence angle to the panels, albedo and thermal radiation of Earth are dependent on satellite orbital features. In this paper, all of the parameters above are simulated using precise simulation methods within the satellite mission. That is, the process of optimal orbital design is performed with the aid of evolutionary optimization methods. This process is aimed at minimizing number of mission days that misses the assurance of satellite power supply in addition to minimizing thermal load exerted to satellite and also its standard deviation. At last, a pair of optimal solutions for two different configurations is compared.

This paper proposes a supplementary method for conceptual design of satellite electrical power subsystem(EPS). Each of represented methods for satellite electricalpower subsystemconceptual design in different references have some advantages and also disadvantages, besides in each of the methods a determined part of this subsystem has been in focused. In this research, first advantages and disadvantages of existing approaches for the conceptual design of electrical power subsystemwere reviewed, continued with combining of previous methods, improved relationships and using some of the simulation methods plus the using of statistical databases, a complementary method with more ascendency and less disadvantages in comparison with other approaches was presented. Finally, using a data from a specific satellite and the results of the statistical design, the complementary method has been validated.

In this article the results of research to achieve a comprehensive code of remote sensing satellite conceptual design is presented. In compiling the code with considering the design philosophy of "better, faster, cheaper" has been attempted in caddition to the use of new technologies and the experiences of experts, local constraints such as national launchers limitation also be considered.The main advantage of the proposed code than conventional models, is using accurate simulation methods and newer models in the process of conceptual design of subsystems. view of the practical experience of the past to choose the best design starting point, achieve an operational plan to reduce the risk of costly changes, next steps of design has been achieved.

In this paper, a particular propulsion system including, liquid rocket engine, fuel and oxidizer tank and related pressurizing system, have been surveyed. The procedure is based on a nonlinear mathematical model which has been simulated in Matlab Simulation environment. In propulsion systems, identifying system performance is essential, because if we can accept ability describe the dynamic behavior of the system components in nominal and transient regimes, we can reduce the associated costs during design and development. Following, results of Propulsion system hot test are compared with model that shows acceptable accuracy of simulator code. In addition to leading research, how to use this model to identify the causes of failure is shown. Match analysis and compatibility testing, after disassembling objective observations show considerable performance model for similar applications.

This paper presents the control design for large angle and high rotation rates maneuvers using reaction cold gas thrusters. Navigation system provides suborbital attitude changes in terms of quaternion. Cold gas thrusters with pulse-width pulse-frequency modulation provide nearly proportional control torques. The use of quaternion as attitude errors for large angle feedback control in a suborbital capsule is investigated. Numerical simulations demonstrate the practical feasibility of a three-axis large angle maneuver.

Providing of sufficient input pressure of pumps is Pressurizing system tank mission. In structure of objective propulsion system, pressurizing system of fuel tank is hot gas kind that is feeding with engine which caused of operation relational. In this paper, interaction of pressurizing system of fuel tank and liquid rocket engine has been surveyed. Objective system consists of four main subsystems: liquid rocket engine, fuel tank, gas mixer and pipes. The procedure is based on a nonlinear mathematical model that dynamically describes operation of favorite system by regard to interaction of subsystems. Then all of the equations have been simulated in Matlab Simulation environment. Finally, results of propulsion system hot test are compared with model that shows acceptable accuracy of simulator code.

In this article the Propellant Utilization system (PU) has been simulated. The objective of this system is to adjust the consumption ratio of the propellants in order to ensure the minimum propellant residuals at engine’s shutdown phase. Using the PU system, the orbital or range and also the payload capabilities of missiles or launch vehicles will be enhanced. In this article, after studying and simulation of the PU system, the necessity of using such system is compared with a missile without the PU system. At the end of this paper it is proven that using PU system on a desired missile has enhanced its range up to 7 percent and has also reduced the propellant residuals up to 25 percent.
