Angular Momentum-based Torque distribution law for CMGs
Analysis of approaches for the control of Control Moment Gyroscopes for avoidance of singularities, at ISRO.
Guide: Dr. Abhilash Mony, Indian Space Research Organisation.
- Proposed a novel torque distribution function for singularity evasion after extensive literature review
- Developed understanding of different techniques used for the control of Control Moment Gyroscopes
- Examined singularities encountered due to alignment of CMGs and developed generalizations of new and old approaches in a common mathematical framework using geometrical insight
