Research ArticleOpen accessState-Space Modelling of a Rocket for Optimal Control System DesignAliyu Bhar Kisabo, Aliyu Funmilayo Adebimpe, Odooh Clement Okwo, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelIn this study, we present the derivation of the mathematical model for a rocket’s autopilot in state-space. The basic equations defining the airframe dynamics of a typical six-Degree-of-Freedom (6DoF) are non-linear and coupled. Separation of these nonlinear coupled dynamics is presented as lateral and longitudinal dynamic equations. The need to determine aerodynamic coefficients and there derivative components are brought to … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 25 May 2019 · 13,632 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessNovel Approach for Characterizing Solid Rocket Motor (SRM)Aliyu Bhar Kisabo, Ngozi Nwokolo, Aliyu Funmilayo Adebimpe, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelTo characterize SRM, the motor needs to be tested on a static test rig and certain performers indicators evaluated. In this study, the thrust with time from the SRM was acquired via a Digital Acquisition (DAQ) System and saved in Microsoft Excel® format(.csv). These thrust and time of the tested motor were then imported into MATLAB® for the purpose of … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 May 2019 · 6,455 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPitch Control of a Rocket with a Novel LQG/LTR Control AlgorithmAliyu Bhar Kisabo, Aliyu Funmilayo Adebimpe, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelThis paper presents the design, simulation and analysis of a novel LQG and LQG/LTR control algorithm for the pitch angle of a sounding rocket. These improved LQG and LQG/LTR control algorithms stem from the fact that a Riccati Differential Equation (RDE) rather than the popular Algebraic Riccati Equation (ARE) is used to obtaining the Kalman gain in the observer of … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,366 accessesView PDF Cite
