On-board Algorithm for Nanosatellite Orientation and Stabilization System

At the Samara State Aerospace University work on developing of the such nanosatellite is in progress. The main objectives of the nanosatellite are its motion dynamics studying and orientation and stabilization algorithm workout, using the built-in measuring and actuating means which are a part of on-board modules: the three-axis magnetometer placed on the on-board computer; Sun sensors, the angular-rate sensors placed on solar battery panels; magnetic coils. The on-board algorithm for nanosatellite orientation and stabilization system based on the two-vector algorithm of the nanosatellite angular location determination and the nanosatellite angular rate damping algorithm is developing.
