Abstract :
The problem of inertial pointing for a spacecraft with magnetic actuators is addressed and an almost global solution to the problem is obtained by means of static attitude, rate feedback and of dynamic attitude feedback. Simulation results demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed approach.
