| Abstract: | The present article deals with methods to determine the dynamical characteristics of satellites with passive and semipassive attitude control systems (ACS). On the basis of determined dynamical characteristics the principal parameters of ACS are obtained. The ACS interacting with the geomagnetic are considered here. It's reputed the ACS of such kind are wide used and simple one. Analytical relationships of these characteristics with the basic attitude control system parameters are presented, and the most important peculiarities of such systems that were found while carrying out satellite dynamics analysis are discussed. The results of system parameters optimization with certain criteria are also given where possible. The results presented may be applied at the preliminary design phase of satellite development. |
