This paper presents the E-Rocket, an electric-powered, low-cost rocket prototype for validation of Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) algorithms based on Thrust Vector Control (TVC). Relying on commercially available components and 3D…

Attitude control of spacecraft during an impulsive orbital maneuver is a vital task. Many spacecraft and launchers use the gimbaled thrust vector control (TVC) in their attitude control system during an orbital maneuver. Mathematical…

This paper proposes an integrated architecture for Thrust Vector Control (TVC) and state estimation for low-cost small-scale launchers, naturally unstable, and propelled by a solid motor. The architecture is based on a non-linear,…

In the last decade, autonomous vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles have become increasingly important as they lower mission costs thanks to their re-usability. However, their development is complex, rendering even the basic…

The gimbal-spacecraft system, that consists of a variable speed control moment gyro (VSCMG) mounted inside a spacecraft, has been employed as an actuator for the attitude control of a spacecraft and has been much studied in the aerospace…

Recently, a practical and publicly accessible satellite standard called the SmallSat has amplified public involvement in orbital research. This allows for flexible and efficient deployments of impactful low-earth-orbit experiments that…

Testing the aerodynamics of micro- and nano-UAVs without actually flying is highly challenging. To address this issue, we introduce Open Gimbal, a specially designed 3 Degrees of Freedom platform that caters to the unique requirements of…
