[0002] As the most important control component in the satellite attitude determination and control system, the momentum wheel has been widely used, and various forms of momentum wheels have been developed to meet different application requirements. The current mainstream momentum wheel structure is a flywheel structure, which is driven by a motor to rotate the flywheel and uses the principle of conservation of angular momentum to achieve control and adjustment of the satellite attitude. However, this structure has high requirements on the symmetry of structural parts such as flywheels and bearings and the reliability of motors, which limits the service life and control accuracy of the flywheel.

The magnetohydrodynamic momentum wheel does not contain certain machined structural parts and has the advantages of high reliability, long life, and impact resistance. At present, many domestic institutions and research institutes are conducting research on magnetohydrodynamic momentum wheel technology. The published documents 1 (patent application number CN201811428186.5) and 2 (patent application number CN201811428680.1) introduce two annular and symmetrical electromagnetic structures designed based on magnetohydrodynamics for controlling satellite attitude.
