Method and system for controlling a mobile platform mounted on a spacecraft

Abstract

Abstract 1. Process for commanding the orientation in space of a movable platform (15) mounted on a space vehicle (11) so as to pivot about at least one axis (xx, yy), according to which pivoting torque about the said axes is exerted on the said platform from the said vehicle as a function of a control command, so as to control the orientation of the acid platform in relation to a reference mark, whilst maintaining the said platform in a predetermined nominal orientation to this mark, characterized in that this reference mark is linked to the space vehicle, and in that this nominal orientation is adjusted as a function an external command determined by reference to an external target, the said control command covering a wider frequency range than the said external command.
