Attitude determination and control of satellite is important component which determines the accomplish satellite missions. In this study, attitude control using reaction wheels and momentum dumping of wheels are considered. Attitude control law is designed by Sliding control and LQR. Attitude maneuver control law is obtained by Shooting method. Wheels momentum dumping control law is designed by Bang-Bang control. Four reaction wheels are configurated for minimized the electric power consumption. Wheels control torque and magnetic moment of magnetic torquer are limited.

Due to the active progress in space programs for various types of ground and space missions, the high agile spacecraft maneuverability is also required. To meet the requirement of the given space missions, the Control Moment Gyros (CMG) for the alternatives of the classical reaction wheels can release the attitude maneuverability restrictions. In addition, the angular rates of the spacecraft is constrained due to the limited actuator characteristics. In this paper, a sliding mode control technique for the attitude control of the spacecraft equipped with the pyramid type of CSCMG(Constant Speed CMG) is designed, and the stability of the control system is guaranteed by using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the control law proposed is analyized by numertical simulations.

Reaction wheel shows nonlinear torque response on low-speed region due to friction. Thus precise satellite attitude control on this region is hard to achieve. Previous research tries to solve this problem, by compensating friction or applying dither command. However, due to difficulties of drag torque modeling or frequent zero wheel speed crossing, these methods are not suitable to apply on the real satellite attitude control. To solve this problem, we propose the attitude controller gain adjustment method based on the attitude error.

This paper deals with the attitude control of an underactuated spacecraft that has one single-gimbal variable-speed CMG. An underactuated spacecraft may not converge to arbitrary attitudes if its total angular momentum is not zero. To stabilize a spacecraft, the CMG has to align with the angular momentum in the inertial frame. Four different install configurations for the CMG have been considered and controllable angular momentums have been analyzed. Also, based on the backstepping method, stabilizing control laws have been presented and their properties have been compared.

We study X-axis or Y-axis high agile attitude control method, using four reaction wheels and two control moment gyros. Since normal satellites use same actuators, researchers design an attitude controller first, and then allocate torque commands to each actuator. However, our satellite uses both control moment gyros and reaction wheels, whose torque output differences are very large. Therefore, we cannot apply normal attitude controller design procedure. In this paper, we solve this problem by combining actuator torque command and attitude controller. Through numerical simulations, we show that our method enables satellite high agility.

In these days, demand for agile spacecraft is gradually increasing, due to the fact that agile spacecraft can improve mission capability. In this paper, an attitude control logic based on reaction wheels that can enhance agility of spacecraft is proposed. Three methods are suggested, and all three or part of them can be integrated to the existing attitude control system. First, a feedforward/feedback controller is introduced, and its pros and cons are provided, compared to the conventional feedback controller. Second, an attitude command generation method that fully utilizes torque/momentum capacities of reaction wheels is proposed. Third, a torque (current) control mode for internal wheel control is introduced. Numerical results verify that the settling time can be significantly reduced by employing the feedforward/feedback control method, especially for large angle maneuver.

The mission life of a satellite determines the amount of fuel required on-board, while the total mass requirement limits the fuel to be loaded. Hence, for the design of thruster control loop, not only the satellite pointing accuracy but the saving of fuel is to be considered. In this paper, a two-step fuzzy controller is proposed for the thruster control loop to save fuel consumption. This approach combines requirements for pointing control accuracy with minimum fuel consumption into a fuzzy controller design. To demonstrate this approach, we have designed a fuzzy controller for the Sun Pointing Mode of KOMPSAT-1. The performance of this fuzzy controller design is compared with that of PD controller used for KOMPSAT-1.

Geomagnetism was used to control the attitude of the small scientific satellite at low altitude in sun-synchronous orbit. First, we analyzed the telemetry data. The rotation state of the satellite, can be known from the magnitude and variations of the magnetic field which is measured from the 3 axis magnetometer. In axisymmetric case, it is possible to control the attitude of the satellite by changing the rotation velocity of each 3 axis. The algorithm and the program were developed to calculate the supply time of the current operating the magnetorquer. This attitude control can be applied when the satellite is in tumbling motion and after passive control is attained by the Gravity gradient boom.
