Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace measurement and control, in particular to a zero-momentum magnetically controlled sun capture device and method suitable for microsatellites. Background technique
[0002] At present, in order to achieve the purpose of rapid derotation during the orbiting stage and safety mode, the satellites mostly use thrusters or magnetic torque control methods to achieve three-axis large angular velocity rate damping. When the three-axis angular velocity of the satellite decreases to the preset threshold, the star sensor is introduced as the attitude sensor, and the reaction flywheel group is used as the actuator, and the three-axis wheel control is used to make the normal line of the satellite sail point to the sun, so as to realize the sun capture and ensure the safety of the satellite. energy supply.
[0003] The disadvantage of the existing technology is: using thrusters in the rate damping stage, altho...
