GNC V&V workshop in July 2025

DYCSYT is involved in the organization of the GNC V&V (Verification & Validation) workshop in ISAE-Supaero in July 2025. In particular, the SDTlib will be used in a practical training using Matlab-Simulink for the modeling, control and analysis of a flexible...
Precision pointing for an observation mission

Precision pointing for an observation mission

This R&D study, under ESA contract in collaboration with Thalès Alenia Space, focused on optimizing the pointing performance of a generic observation mission. The system was fully modeled using SDTlib to perform a frequency analysis of the system and optimize the...
Robust control (H infinity and H2)

Robust control (H infinity and H2)

$\mathcal H_\infty$ and $\mathcal H_2$ norms In modern theory control, the performances of a system can be measured with the $\mathcal H_\infty$ (H infinity) and $\mathcal H_2$ (H2) norms. Noting $\text{Tr}()$ the trace operator, the $\mathcal H_2$ norm of a transfer...
Robotic arm manipulation for on-orbit servicing

Robotic arm manipulation for on-orbit servicing

This R&D study, carried out in collaboration with ESA, focused on high-fidelity modeling of a robotic arm manipulation scenario, as part of an in-orbit service mission. The image below shows the mission sequence: 1: servicer and client satellite are separated, 2,...
LFT modeling of uncertain systems

LFT modeling of uncertain systems

Context The term “uncertainty” refers to the necessary discrepancies between the mathematical model of a physical system, and the reality. Such uncertainties may degrade the stability or the performance of the system, and motivate for robustness considerations as of...
