文摘
- •
We proposed a novel attitude control method by two-step rotation using only magnetic torquers.
- •
With this method, a satellite can achieve attitude control using only MTQs near the magnetic equator orbit.
- •
We also proposed a time optimization method of the two-step attitude control method.
- •
We conducted numerical simulations to assess the proposed method.
