Spacecraft Magnetic Cleanliness Control Based on Optimal Compensating Dipoles Placement

Development method for optimal placement of compensating dipoles for control by magnetically quiet spacecraft. Multiple magnetic dipole model of spacecraft calculated based on near field measurements with consideration spacecraft elements magnetic moment uncertainty as solution of vector game. Optimal placement of compensating dipoles for control by magnetically quiet spacecraft also calculated as solution of vector game. Both this games solutions calculated based on heuristic optimization algorithms. Results of experimental measurements and calculated magnetic characteristics of the «Sich-2» family spacecraft with consideration spacecraft elements magnetic moment uncertainty and security magnetically quiet spacecraft are given.
