Description

In this paper, direction control of balloon gondola with only untwisting motor is proposed. Typically a reaction wheel and another actuator for unloading the reaction wheel are in use to control the attitude (or direction) of the gondola. Although this method can get high accuracy control performance, two actuators spend many resources of the gondola. The proposed method uses only untwisting motor installed above the gondola to rotate. This method can not realize such high accuracy control performance but realize direction control with the most simple configuration. The proposed method is applied to prototype GAPS (General Anti-Particle Spectrometer) balloon experiment in 2012. This paper shows control design for this experiment and the results of the proposed method.
