Abstract:Attitude determination is a fundamental task of the Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS). It involves determining the spacecraft’s orientation with respect to a reference system and calculating its angular velocity, which is essential for understanding where the payload is pointing and the spacecraft’s stability. The determination of the attitude is obtained using sensors such as Sun sensors, Nadir sensors, or Star trackers. Regarding the spacecraft angular velocity, gyroscopes or MEMs can be us… Show more
