Modeling the Angular Motion Dynamics of Small Spacecraft with a Magnetic Attitude Control System in a Three-Axis Stabilization Mode

Resumo

The problem of modeling the attitude control modes of small spacecraft using electromagnetic systems interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field is considered. A mathematical model for the angular motion dynamics of small spacecraft has been developed. The control law for linear magnetic attitude control systems of small spacecraft is formulated. The results of our numerical modeling of the motion of a satellite with a magnetic attitude control system are presented.
