Abstract :
Nowadays, Earth observation satellites are widely used to acquire high quality, and the satellites should have more observation missions at the same time. In this case, it is useful to develop a systematic command generation method for satellite pointing to acquire wide area image efficiently. In this paper, three efficient methods are proposed to operate Earth observation satellite attitude pointing missions. Analysis of each method with numerical simulation results is also discussed.
