Attitude stabilization of a satellite by magnetic coils
Abstract
Stabilization problem for a satellite is considered. The only
measurement is of the geomagnetic field in the satellite
coordinates. The control is carried out by a magnetic moment of
current coils (magnetorquers) mounted on the satellite body.
The stabilizer constructed in this work solves the problems of
magnetic and gravitational stabilization. Qualitative analysis
and results of numerical simulation are presented.
