Abstract. In this article is considered the problem of small satellite's angular position control. This problem is solved by some improvement. The authors offer to use active control element, in the form of gyrodyne, which to fix on the end of gravitational rod. This improvement transforms the gravitational system of orientation into a control system along three axes of orientation: yaw, roll and pitch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
