Cover Story: Marine Satellite Tracking Antenna (MSTA) is an important shipboard device for ships to bidirectionally communicate with satellites. The attitude stabilization system is a necessary part of MSTA to make sure the antenna dish tracks the geostationary satellite in the presence of sever ship dynamics. In this paper, the designed high-performance attitude stabilization system is introduced, which includes hardware system, model identification and controller design. From the test results, it can be seen that the tracking angle error is limited within a small fraction of a degree, which satisfies the system performance requirements. View this paper.
