Abstract

See full text

The attitude of a satellite is controlled by at least three reaction wheels having mutually different rotation axes and at least two control moment gyroscopes having gimbal axes which extend in an equal direction. The reaction wheels and the control momentum gyros are controlled according to calculated values. When the rotors of the gyroscopes are given rotations in opposite directions to each other, angular momentum vectors are produced in respective directions normal to the directions of rotation of the rotors about their gimbal axes.
