Attitude Determination using Extended Kalman Filter
for Elliptical Orbit Satellites
Ilamaran G, Anitha G* Department of Aerospace Engineering, MIT, Anna University, Chennai, India
Abstract This paper investigates the influence of eccentricity on the performance of the attitude
determination and control subsystem (ACDS) pointing of passive low earth orbit (LEO)
satellites stabilized by a gravity-gradient boom. The contribution of this work is two-fold. First, satellite attitude dynamics and kinematics are modeled by introducing the orbit
eccentricity in the equation of motion of an LEO satellite in order to provide the best
scenarios in which satellite operators can keep the nominal functionality of LEO satellites with a gravity-gradient boom. Second, a quaternion-based extended Kalman filter (EKF)
is analyzed when the orbit eccentricity is considered in order to determine the influence of this disturbance on the convergence and stability of the filter. The simulations of this
work are based on the real parameters of LEO satellite stabilized by gravity-gradient
boom. The obtained results show that the orbit eccentricity has a big influence on the pointing system accuracy by causing micro-vibrations that affect the geocentric pointing
Keywords: Spacecraft attitude dynamics, Kalman filter, gravity gradient torque,
eccentricity

Design and Fabrication of a Flapping Wing Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle with Bird Kinematics
Nandu Jith P.J.*, Harsh Gupta Amity Institute of Space Science and Technology, Amity University, Noida, New Delhi, India
Abstract The artificial design of the bird was started out with the inspiration of bird flight and
breaking that complex motion into a mechanism that is easily replicable. The design went
with an active reference to the already existing as well as unique flapping wing UAV titled ʻsmart birdʼ by the Festo Corporation. But unlike the bird designed by Festo, we
have changed the active torsion mechanism design and made it completely mechanical
for steady flight. The bird will also feature video surveillance features with live feed send to any device on ground through Wi-Fi. Thus the design has taken a smart turn to
building an UAV that flies like a bird, making it blend in and undetectable to the naked eye and provide surveillance capability over an area to any number of people on ground
thus providing a new version to the concept ʻeyes in skyʼ.

Air Intake Aerodynamics
S.C. Gupta*
Department of Aeronautical Engineering, MVJ College of Engineering, Bangalore, India
Abstract Air Intake aerodynamic design for fighter aircraft is described herein. Axial flow
compressor is considered. The air intake pressure recovery mass flow requirement, flow distortion and flow stability are explained. Some design related issues are addressed. Air
intakes of varied design are compared. Computational numerical techniques are brought out for design and analysis.
Keywords: Aerodynamics, Compressor, Air intake
