Freeflyer description

Name Colibri
Dimensions 470 x 320 x 320 [mm]
Mass 8.2 [kg] (with bottle full of CO2)
Mobility 6 dof
Environnement 0 g, atmospheric or nul pressure
Propulsion system Gas ejection (CO2), 4 valves per side
Attitude control system 3 momentum wheels or valves
Navigation Autonomous (reaches a target) or pre-loaded trajectory
Localisation system Computation of the target-freeflyer vector using the Webcam image and integration of the attitude using angular velocity mesurement
Sensors IMU (3 axis gyrometers and accelerometers), front camera for target tracking
Controller PID Regulator for close-loop
Control system XBoard 861
Maximal forward acceleration 13.9 [cm/s2]
Maximal rotational acceleration 10.4 [°/s2] using the momentum wheels, more than 360 [°/s2] using the valves
Alimentation 9.6 [V] (8 AA batteries)
Autonomy To be defined... (depends on the gas pressure and the use of the wheels)
