Abstract: Aimed at the problem of choosing appropriate amount and suitable arrangement of thrusters for satellite attitude control, four different configurations of thrusters are summarized. Thruster burn time is given under phase-plane control, and the design criterion is proposed with comparing of control accuracy, fuel consumption and reliability under different configurations. This criterion shows that the reliability and fuel consumption are the primary reference in the design of thruster configuration.

Key words: configuration, burn time, fuel consumption, reliability
