Sentence examples similar to state of spacecraft from inspiring English sources

The observer design ensures finite-time convergence of angular velocity state estimation errors irrespective of the control torque or the initial attitude state of the spacecraft.

Multiple measurements collected by on-board cameras, attitude sensors and LIDAR are used to estimate the state of each spacecraft with respect to the asteroid.

With the finite-time observer, we design an attitude stabilizing control law to guarantee that the attitude state of the spacecraft converges to the equilibrium point in finite time.

This manoeuvre can only be performed after the state of the spacecraft has been determined in a tracking campaign and usually takes place one to two days into the mission.

The report named four major 'mechanisms' which are suspected to have lead to the spacecraft being spun up by its attitude control system (ACS) whereby both solar panels and the extensible optic bench (EOB) are likely to have broken off: (1) the ACS indicated the attitude state of the spacecraft as rotating when it was not.

On the technological front, India launches its own satellites and recently sent Chandrayaan, a state-of-the-art spacecraft, to the moon.
