Abstract

The Lorentz force magnetic levitation gim2bal stabilized platform (LFMP), as a new generation of high-precision turntable for maglev satellites, can meet the requirements of future spacecraft for ultra-high attitude pointing accuracy and stability. To solve the problem of three-module multi-body attitude control under maneuvering conditions, the platform subsystem is first dynamically modeled based on the second type of Lagrangian equation, and the payload subsystem is dynamically modeled based on the Newton–Euler method. Secondly, a multi-loop control system is designed, consisting of high-precision and fast attitude pointing control for the payload, position tracking control for the platform subsystem, and tracking control for the maglev module. The final simulation results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the payload-centered control method. An evaluation of the stability with a specific model has been performed, and the attitude accuracy of the payload is within 0.00002° and the attitude stability is within 0.00005°/s.
