Spacecraft use many motion control systems during normal operations, such as opening door latches, moving cameras and antennas, or positioning solar panels. Actuators are used in motion control systems to move objects or components by converting electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic energy into mechanical force that is applied to a load to control its movement. Here, […]
