A sensor is used to calculate the kinematic attitude of a satellite with respect to a reference frame.

Two stars are observed by the sensor, S1 and S2.

In the reference frame, S1 has coordinates (0, 1, 0) and S2 has coordinates (-1, 0, 0), the three coordinates represent the i,j,k directions in the reference frame.

In the body frame, S1 has coordinates (1 ,0, 0) and S2 has coordinates (0, 1, 0), the three coordinates represent the iB,jB,kB directions in the body frame.

Find the directional cosine matrix which translates the coordinates from the reference frame to the body frame.

A set of solar batteries is used in a research satellite. The satellite can run on only one battery, but it runs best if more than one battery is used. The variance σ2 of lifetimes of these batteries affects the useful lifetime of the satellite before it goes dead. If the variance is too small, all the batteries will tend to die at once. Why? If the variance is too large, the batteries are simply not dependable. Why? Engineers have...

An oxygen sensor is used to measure the ratio of the oxygen concentration level in the air of that in the combustion stream in an internal combustion engine. Assume the concentration of oxygen in the air is 20.8% by volume. Calculate the range of readings (in volts) of the oxygen sensor in the exhaust stream where there is no combustion (20.9% oxygen in the exhaust system to 5% oxygen in the stream.) (Assume the exhaust is at 600°C. The Universal...
