A Review Paper: The Dynamics, Kinematics, Design and Control of Satellite Simulators with Spherical Air Bearing
Because of the high cost and the long-life requirements of the satellites, they are subjected to various tests on ground before launching. So that all the units assembled to the satellite are tested and checked if they are working properly. The space conditions like near zero friction must be satisfied in the laboratory so that the satellite’s orientation controls may be studied. For this reason, different types of simulators are utilized to test these space devices.
