Regulation of an InnoSat by means of evolutionary algorithms

Resumen

The Innovative Satellite, known as InnoSAT, is a nanosatellite developed by the Malaysian Space Agency (ANGKASA) to carry out dissemination, research and technological development activities, such as the design of regulators that control its behavior in space, especially in the swing and spin axes, which according to their transfer functions have a marginally stable behavior and affect their altitude. a situation that requires a correction through the design and implementation of automatic control techniques such as square linear regulators (LQRs), which are designed through the optimization of a cost function using a weighting matrix. Although this technique ensures system stability, it is often associated with high mean square error and slow setup time. This proposal presents an alternative to improve the design of regulators through evolutionary techniques such as the Genetic Algorithm and the Cuckoo Search. These approaches reduce errors and speed up setup time on the InnoSAT swing and swing axes.
