Sentence examples for thrust directions from inspiring English sources

In a practical situation of formation flying, thrust directions for keeping and controlling a relative orbit is limited, e.g., for astronomical observation and plume impingement avoidance.

by changing thrust direction maintaining aerodynamic lift.  . by changing lift maintaining directional thrust; by changing thrust direction maintaining aerodynamic lift.

Then a variable structure attitude controller is used to track the optimized thrust direction.

This allows for the adaptation of previously proposed control design approaches based on the thrust direction control paradigm.

The suggested method may also be used in the case when constraints are imposed on the thrust direction due to specific features of the satellite stabilization mode.

This means that the lift force generated by the sails is more aligned with the thrust direction than the drag force.

Both cases of the station keeping, i.e., in an assigned position and in an assigned orbit, are considered without and with a constraint on the thrust direction.

To fully validate the proposed guidance algorithm, Monte Carlo simulation is done by incorporating the navigational error and the thrust direction error.

To diminish its effect on the control, a thrust duration as well as a thrust direction are translated from the delta-v in the context of a constant thrust engine (the most robust type in real applications).

With the proposed design technique, Earth Moon transfer trajectory is successfully designed with the plasma thruster having a thrust direction sequence of "fixed-varied-fixed" and a thrust acceleration sequence of "constant-variable-constant".

Then, through deriving the Taylor series expansion of the parameterized extremals, the neighboring optimal feedback not only on thrust direction but also on switching times is readily devised and the procedure for computing the gain matrix is presented.
