PAPERS/ PROJECTS
Adaptive Control Law for Spacecraft Formation Flying with Solar Radiation Pressure and Reduced Secular Drift Jan 2015
• Developed an adaptive control law for spacecraft formation flying in high eccentric orbits.
• The control law accounts for disturbances caused by solar radiation pressure while estimating the mass of satellite
and the forces due to solar radiation pressure.
• The paper also addresses the important aspect of reducing secular growth for optimizing fuel consumption.
System Identification of Simple Harmonic Oscillator Jan 2014
• Implemented the Eigensystem Realization Algorithm(ERA)/Obsever Kalman Filter Identification(OKID) algorithm.
• This algorithm was used to identify system model for a robotic arm used in Trocar insertion medical surgeries, results
were comparable with many commercially available software/toolboxes.
GPS Based Attitude Estimation Using Extended Kalman Filter Oct 2013
• Used orthogonal setup of 3 antennas for attitude determination .
• The Extended Kalman Filter’s attitude estimates were accurate to the order of 0.1 ◦

2. Design of Spacecraft Attitude Controller Jan 2013
• Designed a controller for active pitch control & passive control of roll and yaw, using two momentum wheels for a
Nano/Micro Satellite.
• Studied performance by varying parameters of the controller, the performance of system met mission requirements.
Statistical Validation of Trocar Insertion Simulation Device Jan 2013
• Analyzed the performance of the haptic device under application of varying static load on .
• Performed statistical test like the χ2
and students T-Test.
