Designing a Satellite with Two Motors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around designing a satellite-like model that utilizes two motors for movement. One motor is intended for horizontal rotation, while the other facilitates vertical movement. Participants clarify that traditional satellites do not use motors for orbital changes but may use them for rotation. The original poster seeks guidance on controlling the model and understanding its mechanics. The design concept is likened to a spherical coordinate system for better visualization.

hi all


look i haven't finished the control I subject ..and the Dr ask us for a project.

i've got an idea i want to design and satlight with two motor if anyone can help
me with the basic i would be greatfull

if there any site can explain that ..please i need it

You want to design a satellite with two motors? What would the motors be used for?
 
the motor will be used for moving the satellite left and right at the horizintal plan
and the other one to move up and down ..

it's not a satellite letterly

it just the body of it and need to know how to control it ..

thank u

Satellites do not use motors to move (change their orbits). Why not? What do they use instead?
 
Do you mean rotate? Some satellites use flywheels and motors to rotate.
 
yea that is it to rotate
rotate right and left
and up and and down

imagin it like a sphirecal coordinate
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
