Magnetic-only attitude control algorithms for miniaturized satellites

This paper is mainly focus on the research of magnetic attitude control algorithms with only magnetic torque based on low-cost satellites. First of all, the paper draws a comparison with different control algorithms, then designs a new adaptive magnetic-only attitude control algorithm for real satellites engineer. The new algorithm can fully utilize the power of magnetic torques and improve the efficiency of attitude control in limited time. At last, a mathematical simulation, with effect of real gravity and other disturbance, indicates that the new algorithm can satellites make three-axis attitude stabilization in short time, with high precision. All results improve its good engineering application foreground for low-cost miniaturized satellites.
