摘要： Attitude acquisition methods and systems are provided which reduce the time generally required to acquire spacecraft attitude estimates and enhance the probability of realizing such estimates. The methods and systems receive, over a time span &Dgr;t, successive frames of star-sensor signals that correspond to successive stellar fields-of-view, estimate spacecraft rotation &Dgr;r throughout at least a portion of the time span &Dgr;t, and, in response to the spacecraft rotation &Dgr;r, process the star-sensor signals into a processed set of star-sensor signals that denote star positions across an expanded field-of-view that exceeds any of the successive fields-of-view. The expanded field-of-view facilitates identification of the stars that generated the processed set of star-sensor signals to thereby acquire an initial attitude estimate.

摘要： A method of deriving a formula (FIG. 4) for calculating a quantity of fuel injected by an electric-actuated fuel injector (16) during an injection wherein duration of the injection is set by duration of an electric signal (P1, P2) applied to the fuel injector and pressure (ICP) at which the fuel is injected is set by pressure of hydraulic fluid applied to the fuel injector. The fuel injector is mapped by applying, various combinations of different selected hydraulic fluid pressures and different selected durations of the electric signal to create data sets of the corresponding selected hydraulic fluid pressure, the corresponding selected electric signal duration, and the quantity of fuel injected. Data from the data sets is processed to create terms of a multiple term mathematical formula that is used to calculate the quantity of fuel injected.

The flight control computer comprises an FCC processor for generating an instruction signal to operate the actuator on the basis of an operational instruction signal inputted from a pilot and a state signal indicative of the state of an aircraft, and generating a reference signal on the basis of the instruction signal and the feedback signal from the actuator. The actuator control computer comprises an ACC processor for generating an actuator control signal on the basis of the instruction signal generated by the FCC processor and the feedback signal from the actuator, and a servo amplifier for amplifying the actuator control signal generated by the ACC processor to be outputted to the actuator. The actuator is operative to actuate the flight control surfaces in accordance with the actuator control signal amplified by the servo amplifier and output a feedback signal in return. The flight control computer further comprises a comparing section for comparing the actuator control signal generated by the ACC processor with the reference signal generated by the FCC processor to detect a failure wherein the FCC processor is different in design from the ACC processor.
