The invention discloses a
reaction wheel momentum management method for
satellite redundancy configuration, and belongs to the technical field of
satellite attitude control. According to the method, for reaction wheels in three-positive-one-oblique,
pyramid or full-oblique redundant configuration, the core is that the characteristic that output torque of the configured reaction wheels is synthesized to be zero is utilized, the
reaction wheel with the
maximum difference value between the current rotating speed and the target rotating speed is recognized in real time through the preset target rotating speed to serve as a reference datum, and the reference datum serves as the guide; under the constraint condition that the
resultant torque generated by all the reaction wheels is strictly guaranteed to be zero, the rotating speed output quantity of each
reaction wheel is obtained, finally, the rotating speed of the corresponding reaction wheel at the current moment is adjusted based on the rotating speed output quantity of each reaction wheel, and
momentum management of each reaction wheel in redundant configuration is completed. The method has many advantages in the aspects of
momentum management, moment allowance control,
control quality improvement, equipment service life prolonging and whole
satellite energy saving of the satellite.
