Mohmmed, Mostafa K. Ahmed, Ashraf Owis Hany Dwidar Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Solar Space Research, NRIAG, El Marsad st. Helwan 4, Cairo, Egypt. hani.@yahoo.co.uk Cairo University, 6 (Egypt) mkahmed.g@gmail.com Cairo University, 6 (Egypt) aowis@eun.eg Cairo University, 6 (Egypt) hrydwidar@gmail.com Abstract In this work we investigate the orbit-attitude perturbations of a rigid spacecraft due to the effects of several forces torques. The spacecraft is assumed to be of a cylindrical shape equipped with a charged screen with charge density σ. Clearly the main force affecting the motion of the spacecraft is the gravitational force of the Earth with uniform spherical mass. The effect of oblate Earth up to J is considered as perturbation on both the orbit attitude of the spacecraft, the attitude of the spacecraft is acted upon by what is called gravity gradient torque. Another source of perturbation on the attitude of the spacecraft comes from the motion of the charged spacecraft in the geomagnetic field. This motion generates a force known as the Lorentz force which is the source of the Lorentz force torque influencing the rotational motion of the spacecraft. In this work we give an analytical treatment of the orbital-rotational dynamics of the spacecraft. We first use the definitions of Delaunay Andoyer variables in order to formulate the Hamiltonian of the orbit-attitude motion under the effects of forces torques of interest. Since the Lorentz force is a non-conservative force, a potential like function is introduced added to the Hamiltonian. We solve the canonical equations of the Hamiltonian system by successive transformations using a technique proposed by Lie modified by Deprit Kamel to solve the problem. In this technique we make two successive transformations to eliminate the short long periodic terms from the Hamiltonian. I. INTRODUCTION The motion of a rigid spacecraft is specified by its position, velocity, attitude, attitude motion. The first two describe the translational motion of the center of mass of the spacecraft, while the latter two describe the rotational motion of the body about the center of mass, In general the translational attitude motions are independent as long as no resonance conditions are assumed between the orbital rotational motions, in this case attitude-orbit coupling results. A spacecraft is in general under the perturbation effect of gravitaional potential of the Earth, which includes both perturbations on the orbital the attitude motion of the spacecraft. Other forces maybe added to the gravitational force, such as solar radiation pressure, which is investigated analytically in [] []. In this work we invesitgate analytically the perturbation effects of both the gravitational force up to J Lorentz force on both the orbital attitude motion. Following the work of [], this paper is organized as follows: we formulate the Hamiltonian of the motion of the spacecraft under the perturbing forces torques, the problem is then tackled using the straight forward Lie technique. This technique was proposed by Lie developed by Deprit Kamel (see [] [5]). In this technique we perform two successive transformations to eliminate the short long periodic terms from the Hamiltonian, hence the new canonical equations are solved easily. The novelty of this work is that we obtain an analytical solution of the problem. Despite the numerical solution is accurate can be applied in practise, analytical treatments can lead to closed form solutions, enables us to analyze the problem. II. COORDINATE SYSTEMS AND SYSTEMS OF CANONICAL VARIABLES Before starting to formulate the problem we first define the coordinate systems the canonical variables used to describe the motion. Let the inertial coordiante system OXY Z with origin at the Earth s center defined such that the X axis is toward the Vernal Equinox, the Y axis is normal to the X axis located in the equatorial plane the Z axis coincides with the rotational axis of the Earth. Three unit vectors (î, ĵ, ˆk) are taken in the X, Y, Z directions respectively. The body coordinate System O X Y Z is located at the center of mass of the spacecraft with X axis, Y axis Z axis choosen along the principal axes of the spacecraft.the three unit vectors (ê, ê, ê ) are taken in the X,Y,Z directions respectively. The orbital coordinate system O ξηζ is located at the center of mass of the spacecraft with the ξ axis 7 P a g e

A. Sets of Canonical variables There are two types of sets of canonical variables used, one for the description of the orbital motion, the other describes the attitude motion. There are many sets of variables for both types. Two of the most famous sets are Delaunay Andoyer sets of variables used to describe both orbital attitude motion respectively. B. Delaunay variables Delaunay variables are usually used to describe the orbital motions of the Earth of the Moon Sun, assumed to produce measurable tidal effects. They are usually defined as : l : Mean anomaly, g : Argument of perigee, h : Longitude of the node, L = µa, G = µa( e ) H = µa( e ) cos I. Where µ is the Earth s mass, a is the semi-major axis of the spacecraft, e is the eccenricity, I is the inclination. C. Andoyer variables Andoyer variables are the most commonly used for the description of attitude motion. [] performed transformation from the inertial frame to the body frame through the intermediate invariable plane using successive rotations. The transformation matrix of this transformation is given in terms of Andoyer variables as: R(h a,i a,g a,j a,l a )=[V V V ] () I a is the inclination of the invariable plane on the reference plane, J a is the angle between the invariable plane the body plane. The column vectors V, V V are given as: V = V = V = (c ha (c ga c la c Ja s ga s la ) s ha ( s Ia s Ja s la +c Ia (c la s ga + c ga c Ja s la )) c ha ( c Ja c la s ga c ga s la ) s ha ( c la s Ia s Ja +c Ia (c ga c Ja c la s ga s la )) c ha s ga s Ja s ha ( c Ja s Ia c Ia c ga s Ja ) s ha (c ga c la c Ja s ga s la ) +c ha ( s Ia s Ja s La + c Ia (c la s ga + c ga c Ja s la )) s ha ( c Ja c la s ga c ga s la ) +c ha ( c la s Ia s Ja + c Ia (c ga c Ja c La s ga s la )) s ga s ha s Ja + c ha ( c Ja s Ia c Ia c ga s Ja ) c Ia s Ja s la + s Ia (c la s ga + c ga c Ja s la ) c Ia c la s Ja + s Ia (c ga c Ja c la s ga s la ) c Ia c Ja s Ia s Ja c ga Andoyer variables used in the previous transformation are defined as: L a Z component of the angular momentum vector (i.e. that normal to the body plane), G a Total angular momentum vector, H a Z component of the angular momentum vector (i.e. that normal to the reference plane). The conjugate angle variables are : l a the longitude of the X axis (of the body frame) with respect to the node of the body plane on the invariable plane. g a the longitude of the node N with respect to N (measured in the invariable plane). h a longitude of the node N with respect to the X axis (of the inertial frame). III. FORMULATION OF THE HAMILTONIAN OF THE ORBIT-ATTITUDE MOTION The Hamiltonian of the orbit-attitude motion of the spacecraft is formulated using the prescribed Delaunay Andoyer variables. The total Hamiltonian consists of the Hamiltonian of the gravitational potential, the Hamiltonian of the torque free motion, the Hamiltonian of the Lorentz torques. A. Hamiltonian of the gravitational potential As mentioned before the gravitational potential of oblate Earth will be considered affecting on a spacecraft of a cylindrical shape consisting of only one single body. The gravitational potential of the Earth is given by [4] as V g = µm {+ J ( R e ) ( sin φ c )}Σ ) µ Rc {(Σ + J ( R e ) [( 5sin φ c )Σ 5( 7sin φ c )Σ + Σ + sin φ c Σ 4 ]} () sin φ c =sinisin(f + g), J =.8 is the coefficient of the second harmonic of Earth s gravitational potential Σ = I i, Σ = I i c i, Σ = I i c ei, Σ 4 = I i c i c ei i= i= i= i= I i are the principle moments of inertia of the satellite, c i are the direction cosines between the principle axes the unit vector Ŝ along the radius vector, c ei are the direction cosines between the principal axes the Earth s rotational axis. The direction cosines c i c ei need to be evaluated in terms of Delaunay Andoyer variables. They were evaluated in [] [6] as: 7 P a g e

Now after evaluating the direction cosines c i we proceed in evaluating their squares c i.

Their squares are also evaluated as: c e = j =,k = E jk cos(jg a + kl a ) (), E jk = c e = ν,µ = ν µ = j ν,µ = ν + µ = j j =,k = ν,µ = ν µ = k ν,µ = ν + µ = k A eνν A eµµ A eνν A eµµ F jk cos(jg a + kl a ) () F jk = ν,µ = ν ± µ = j ν,µ = ν ± µ = k B eνν B eµµ G j = c e = G j cos(jg a ) () j= ν,µ = ν ± µ = j C eν C eµ The products c i c ei are also evaluated as: c c e = U jkm sin((f + g)+j(h a h)+kg a + ml a ) () j= k,m= 75 P a g e

Contribution of the gravitational potential to the total Hamiltonian C νν C eµ Considering the spacecraft is of a cylindrical shape considering the dimensions of the cylinder to be of length m then ρ R E is of order J, ρ is the radius vector of any point on the spacecraft relative to its center of mass, R E is the Earth s radius. Now note that the principal moments of inertia I i are directly proportional to the square of ρ, sin (φ c )=sin (I)( L cos(g +f)) a = µ. We then have a new form of the gravitational potential written in terms of Delaunay Andoyer variables as: V g = µ L + A a (s 4 L 6 ) s cos(f +g) (6) J µ 4 R j,k,m= e a B!

6 C. Contribution of Lorentz force to the Hamiltonian If we consider the spacecraft is equipped with a charged cylindrical sheet with surface charge density σ, the total charge of the spacecraft is Q = σds, S is the surface area of the screen. It was shown by [?] that when the center of charge S is off-center, the expression for Lorentz torque can be approximated by : N l = Qρ (v B) b (8) ρ is the radius vector of the center of charge is given by in the body coordinate system ρ = x ê + y ê + z ê = σρds Q v is the velocity of the center of mass of the spacecraft relative to the ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed) frame B is the geomagnetic field intensity. S B = grad U m (9) U m is the geomagnetic potential. We use here the inclined dipole model for the geomagnetic potential described in the Cartesian coordinates. [?] U m = R e z x y Rc (g + g + h ) () (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science Applications, Vol. 4, No., g = 965,g = 78,h = 586 Evaluating equation (8) in terms of Delaunay Andoyer variables takes long calculations. The final form of the Lorentz torque is then N l = Q( R i,j=,k= E ) i, j = k = Xijkmnrs m, n = r, s = cos(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) + X ijkmnrs sin(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) ê + i,j=,k= i, j = k = m, n = r, s = Y ijkmnrs cos(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) + Y ijkmnrs sin(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) ê + i,j=,k= i, j = k = m, n = r, s = Z ijkmnrs cos(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) + Z ijkmnrs sin(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) ê () E is the eccentric anomaly, the coefficients Xijkmnrs, X ijkmnrs,y ijkmnrs, Y ijkmnrs Z ijkmnrs Z ijkmnrs are known functions of I,I a J a arise from the transformations between coordinate systems. D. Potential like function Since Lorentz force is not conservative, i.e not derived from a potential function, we introduce the potential like function to contribute to the Hamiltonian. The potential like function ϑ l has the form ϑ l = N l. = N l. (c ê + c ê + c ê ) () 77 P a g e

7 The potential like function is then evaluated in the form : (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science Applications, Vol. 4, No., ϑ l = Q R E R c i,j=4,k= i, j = k = s = m, n, r = m, n, r = s = A ijkmnrs sin(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) + A ijkmnrs cos(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) () According to [?], the magnitude of the Lorentz torque acting on a spacecraft is N l = Q ρ (ω ω E ) B (4) ω is the angular velocity of the rotation of the orbital coordinate system relative to the inertial system ω E is the angular velocity of diurnal rotation of the Earth. Thus if we take a practical example in which =7 6 m, S = m, the electric potential U = 5 V electric capacity c s =, so that the charge has a magnitude of. ω =. if ρ =.5 m then the Lorentz torque is of order 5, i.e. the order of Lorentz torque is close to J. In terms of the small parameter J the potential like function can be written as: ϑ l = J! i,j=4,k= i, j = k = s = m, n, r = m, n, r = s = A ijkmnrs sin(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) + A a ijkmnrs cos(if + jg + kh + mg a + nh a + rl a + se) QµR E L (5) Q =!Q.

IV. PERTURBATION APPROACH Let be the small parameter of the problem let the canonical system of differential equations be written as : () u = H T U, U = H T u What is required is to construct two (or more) transformations (u, U; ) (ù, Ù) (ù, Ù; ) (ù, Ù) analytic in at =to eliminate in succession the short long period terms from the Hamiltonian such that Ù ù become linear functions of time. The old new Hamiltonians the Generators are assumed expable as H = H + n n n! H n H (, ù, ù ; Ù; ) = H (Ù)+ n H ( ; Ù; ) = H (Ù)+ n W (ù; Ù; ) = n W (, ù, ù ; Ù; ) = n n n! W n+(ù; Ù) n n! H n(, ù, ù ; Ù) reduce to constants n n! H n ( ; Ù) () n n! W n+(, ù, ù ; Ù) Elimination of Short period terms Using the transformation equations we have the following basic identities H = H Hn = H n +(H ; W n ) n n H n = H n + j j= n (H n j ; W j )+ j G j Hn j () Let u be the fast variable in H. We choose H n to be the average of H n over u ; i. e. H n =< H n > u () So that the periodic term is 79 P a g e

9 from which P n = H n H n =(H ; W n ) (4) H W n = P n dù n= U After determining the generator, the elements of the transformation its inverse are determined by J n u =ù + n! ù(n), U = Ù + J n n! Ù (n) (5) ù = u + n= J n n! u(n) (u, U), Ù = U + ù () = W Ù Ù () = W ù n= n= J n n! U (n) (u, U) (6), ù () = W Ù + L ù () (7), Ù () = W ù + L Ù () (8) u () = ù (), u () = ù () +L ù () (9) U () = Ù (), U () = Ù () +L Ù () (4) L is the Lie derivative. Note that in the last two equations the right h sides are evaluated at ù = u Ù = U. A. Elimination of Long period terms The second transformation to eliminate the long period terms proceeds in exactly the same way but replacing (u, U) by (ù, Ù); (ù, Ù) by (ù, Ù); H by H ; H by H W by W V. SOLUTION OF THE TRANSLATIONAL ROTATIONAL MOTION In this section the translational rotational motion is solved using the Lie technique. As discussed in the previous section, there will be two successive canonical transformations in order to eliminate the short long period terms in succession. secular periodic terms will be retained up to O(J ) O(J ) respectively. A. Short Period transformation we proceed to eliminate the short period terms (those depending on l, l a g a ) from the Hamiltonian in equation (6) ) Zero Order: Using equation () equation (7) we find that : H = H = µ L + L a + G a I I I all the variables in the right h side are understood to be single primed, but the primes are removed from now on for simplicity. ) First Order: From equation () we have : H = H +(H ; W ) (4) H = H = A a (s 4 L 6 ) s cos(f +g) we then choose H to be the secular part of H. Thus we take the average of H over the fast angles. That is H =< H > l,la,,g a = 8π (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science Applications, Vol. 4, No., A π π π H dl a dg a dl (4) H = 4 L ( H G G ) (4) 8 P a g e

10 The Periodic part is given as P = H H =(W ; H )= A 4 L 6 a ( H G ) s cos(f +g) A 4 L ( H G G ) (44) Since P is independent of l a g a, we have only W l not vanishing. thus W = L µ Pdl = A 4 µ G ( H )(f l + e sin(f)) G s sin(f +g)+ e sin(f +g)+sin(f +g) (45) ) Second order: Again we use the perturbation equations. The equations for the second order are : (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science Applications, Vol. 4, No., Where H is given in equation(9) the bracket (H + H ; W ) is evaluated as: H = H +(H ; W ) (46) H = H +(H + H; W ) (47) (H + H; W ) = A s 6µ L 4 G 6 A (4 5s ) 6µ L G 7 Ki, cos(if +g) i= 9A + s a 8µ L 6 G 4 (4 5s )(f l) sin(f +g) + A 56eµ L G 8 a j= i= 8 H j,i cos(if +jg) (48) f is the true anomaly, Ki, H j,i are functions of e s. Now H is easily obtained. Now we take H in equation (46) to be the average of H H =< H > l,la,,g a = π π π H 8π dl a dg a dl In performing this averaging we use Hansen coefficients to express functions of the true eccentric anomaly in terms of the mean anomaly. n a cos(mf) = a n,m k (e) cos(kl) (49) k n a sin(mf) = b n,m k (e)sin(kl) (5) k the coefficients a, b are Hansen coefficients that many procedures has been developed to evaluate[?].

Elements of Long Period transformation The elements of the transformation its inverse maybe obtained from the equations of short period transformation, but with the replacement of W n by Wn, (u, U) by (ù, Ù), L n by L n (ù, Ù) by (ù, Ù). E. Secular perturbations the computation of position velocity The equations of motion are now reduced to c are arbitrary constants so that they admit the solution the constants (Ù, ù ) are to be determined from the initial conditions. dù dt = H ù =, dù dt = H = c (75) dù Ù = Ù, ù = ù + ct (76) Let the elements (u,u ) be known at a given initial epoch t then we can obtain the constants (Ù, ù ) as follows: - From the elements of the transformation we can compute the initial values (Ù, ù ) from ù = u + n= J n n! u(n), Ù = U + - From the corresponding equations for the elements of the long period transformations n= J n n! U (n) (77) ù =ù + n= J n n! ù(n), Ù = Ù + n= J n n! Ù (n) (78) Now having determined ù Ù we can evaluate H = H (Ù), in turn the constants c are now known. To compute the position velocity at any time t we compute then ù = ù + n= J n n! ù(n), Ù = Ù + n= J n Ù (n) (79) n! u =ù + n= J n n! ù(n), U = Ù + n= J n n! Ù (n) (8) Having determined (u, U) at time t, we compute the position, velocity, attitude attitude motion of the spacecraft. 85 P a g e

15 (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science Applications, Vol. 4, No., VI. CONCLUSION In this paper we have obtained an analytical solution for the orbit-attitude motion of a charged spacecraft under the effect of Earth oblateness (J ) Lorentz force through Hamiltonian framework. The problem is tackled by means of Lie perturbation technique. Two successive canonical transformations were performed in order to eliminate the short long period terms in succession. secular periodic terms were retained up to O(J ) O(J ) respectively.
