Abstract :
The problem of inertial pointing for a spacecraft with magnetic actuators is addressed. It is shown that a global solution to the problem can be obtained by means of (static) attitude and rate feedback and (dynamic) attitude feedback. Simulation results demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed approach.
