Abstract :
This paper presents the control algorithm for a satellite stabilization using a space leech. The space leech is assumed to have n reaction wheels with known moments of inertia about their axis of rotation. All mass properties of the satellite are assumed unknown The proposed control algorithm brings the satellite to a specified attitude trajectory.
