Abstract: The remote sensing satellite puts forward higher requirements to the rapidity of satellite attitude maneuver ability. This paper presents a satellite attitude maneuver control method based on a theoretical trajectory and gives a detailed on-line description. With large-torque flywheels and the modified angle model based on extended experiments, the satellite attitude agility ability is obtained. Numerical simulations and comparisons are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: attitude maneuver control, path planning, large torque flywheel, agile satellite
