Abstract

Implicit in a discussion of how to command the devices in momentum control system is the assumption that the devices faithfully track those commands. And yet, momentum devices exhibit several significant nonlinearities and can experience significant disturbances and errors. For this reason, momentum devices almost always include “inner loops” applying feedback control to the quantities of interest to ensure that those commands are tracked.
