Package Overview

The slew conception is described hereafter :

A slew is represented by the abstract class AbstractSlew, which implements the interface Slew. An slew describes how the spacecraft joins up two successive attitude laws: the classes heriting from AbstractSlew (like the class ConstantSpinSlew) contain the algorithms to compute the maneuver.

A slew is bounded in time and as a result inherits the [ATT_LEG_Home AttitudeLeg] interface.

Features

Constant spin slew

The constant spin slew is a basic slew maneuver type. Between the initial quaternion and the final one, a spherical linear interpolation ([MAT_QRO_Rotations slerp interpolation]) describes the behavior of the spacecraft. In order to properly compute the slew, the user must specify the initial and final quaternion, plus a computation constraint:

• Minimal duration:
  • the initial and final date of the slew maneuver are given:
    

    final Slew slew = new ConstantSpinSlew(firstLaw, secondLaw, startDate, endDate);

  • the initial date of the slew maneuver and its duration are given:
    

    final Slew slew = new ConstantSpinSlew(firstLaw, secondLaw, startDate, true, 150., Constraint.DURATION);

  • the final date of the slew maneuver and its duration are given:
    

    final Slew slew = new ConstantSpinSlew(firstLaw, secondLaw, endDate, false, 150., Constraint.DURATION);

• Maximal angular velocity:
  • the initial (or final) date of the slew maneuver and the maximal angular velocity are given:
    

    final Slew slew = new ConstantSpinSlew(firstLaw, secondLaw, startDate, true, 0.2, Constraint.ANGULAR_VELOCITY);

Once the slew maneuver defined, the computation can be performed on an orbital state using the following method:

slew.compute(orbit);

Spin bias slew

The two spin bias slew is a slew maneuver type. The velocity depends on the value of the slew angle.

In order to compute properly the slew, the user must specify the initial and final laws, the parameters of the two angular velocity fields, plus the stabilisation margin:

final TwoSpinBiasSlew slew = new TwoSpinBiasSlew(startLaw, finalLaw, initialDate, 
    step, theta_max, tau, epsInRall, omega2, theta, epsOutRall, omega1, dtStab);

Once the slew maneuver is defined, the computation can be performed on an orbital state using the following method:

slew.compute(orbit);

It is possible to get the attitude ephemeris representing the slew using the following method:

final TabulatedAttitude ephem = slew.getEphemeris();

ISIS Spin bias slew

This spin bias slew is a slew with a trapezoidal angular velocity profile: - Constant acceleration phase - Constant angular velocity phase (zero acceleration phase) - Constant decceleration phase

This slew can be computed using classes:
- IsisAnalyticalSpinBiasSlew: this class provides an analytical solution to the slew
- IsisNumericalSpinBiasSlew: this class provides an numerical solution to the slew The two classes returns close results ( < 1E-2 rad), though analytical solution is more accurate.

The slews can be used in two ways:
- Provide an initial law, an initial date and a target final law: the user must use the enum TypeOfDate.INITIAL at construction.
- Provide an final law, a final date and a target initial law: the user must use the enum TypeOfDate.FINAL at construction.

Warning: slew computed in both ways will never be exactly the same depending on user-chosen convergence threshold and maximum number of iterations (result will be exactly the same if convergence threshold is lower than machine precision and number of allowed iterations high enough to support convergence).

The slew has then to be calculated using method compute(). Finally the slew can be used like any other slew.
