Attitude Control
• The system that turns and maintains a spacecraft in the required direction as indicated by its sensors.• Spacecraft subsystem capable of pointing the spacecraft toward a selected target. • Stabilizing a satellite's attitude (direction) in its orbit. Attitude control can be done by spinning the satellite, or by having it remain stabilized in three axes using an internal mechanism such as reaction wheels and/or torque coils/rods.

External Disturbance Torques
• Gravity-Gradient: Constant for earth oriented vehicle, cyclic for inertially oriented vehicle Tg = 3μ/(2R3)*|Iz – Iy|*sin(2Θ)• Solar Radiation: Cyclic on earth oriented vehicle, constant for earth oriented Tsp = F*(cps – cg)• Magnetic Field: Cyclic Tm = D*B• Aerodynamic: Constant for earth oriented vehicle, variable for inertially oriented vehicle Ta = F*(cpa – cg) = FL
Kedrick Black 9
Reaction Wheels
• Used to hold the spacecraft steady or to move from one pointing direction to another• spinning flywheel mounted on a central bearing whose rate of rotation can be adjusted as necessary by an electric motor to apply a force and move the spacecraft• any change in the rate of spin of these wheels creates a predictable force that nudges the satellite's pointing direction • Once in position, very tiny changes in spin rates work to keep us pointing at the object of interest

Reaction Wheel sizing equationsand performance ranges
• Momentum Storage (h): h = TD*(Orbital Period/4)*(0.707)• Slew Torque: Θ/2 = (1/2)*(T/I)*(t/2)2 • 0.4 to 400 Nms @ 1200 to 1500 rpm• 2 to 20kg• 10 to 110W

Mounting Possibilities
•Two ideas -Designed to fit within side beam -Wrapped into groove on exterior of satellite•Three coils form mutually perpendicular axes

Momentum Dumping
• Presence of torque on spacecraft at all times causes wheels to spin at all times• Momentum builds up and needs to be dumped• The approach is to consider both the need and efficiency of dumping at a particular time.• Torque coils/rods are a good solution
