CubeSats Passive Control Vibration Isolation Analysis Using Transfer Matrix Method

Vibration effects for space crafts has a great influence during the launching phase and also after launching. Active vibration isolation techniques have good results to protect such systems from vibration problems in wide frequency bands. But, these active systems increase the total weight of space craft. That will increase the need of power supplies, which may affect the mission life time due to batteries and solar cell charging consuming. Passive control for such problem is designed using Transfer Matrix Method for Multibody Systems (MSTMM) that can provide an easy method to analyze a passive vibration isolation technique with simple design. The main objective of this paper is to study the different models effect in isolation design using MSTMM and passive control techniques to conserve the power consumption for enlarging the power batteries life. That means longer mission intervals for such systems. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the offered technique
