Abstract
This study demonstrates the isolation performance of a variable-damping isolator using abio-metal fiber (BMF) valve to enhance the pointing performance of observation satellitesby isolating disturbances induced by reaction wheel assemblies. Vibration isolation tests ofthe variable-damping isolator were performed using an air-floating wheel disturbancedetector to investigate whether the isolator can actually isolate flywheel vibration. In thispaper, we first present a recently developed variable-damping isolator with low powerconsumption, and a reaction wheel disturbance detector, fabricated in a previous study,which detects low-frequency disturbances. Next, we describe the effectiveness ofthe variable-damping isolator based on flywheel vibration isolation test results.
