Latest Patents
J Jeff Bonn holds a patent for a "Dynamic CMG array and method." This invention provides methods and apparatus for reorienting control moment gyros to compensate for CMG failure or changes in spacecraft mass properties or mission. The improved CMG features a drive mechanism that allows rotation around an axis not parallel to the CMG gimbal axis. Releasable clamps secure the CMG to the spacecraft, except during reorientation. The invention integrates CMG arrays with attitude sensors, a command module, memory for data storage, CMG drivers, and a controller that connects these elements. The method involves determining CMG failures, identifying working CMGs, reorienting the array for better spacecraft control, and updating control parameters accordingly. J Jeff Bonn has 1 patent to his name.
