Introduction Satellites Communication, Remote sensing, Planetary Exploration and Education LEO Less Weight & Size Less Cost of Manufacturing & Launch Attitude Control System – ACS Navstar54 35
Stabilization & Attitude Control • Attitude Control • Reorientation & modification of the satellite attitude • Passive – Active • Gravity Gradient – GG • Spin Stabilized • Single spin • Dual spin • 3-axis stabilization • High accuracy pointing, Expensive, complicated, Heavy, Energy consuming • Momentum Exchange Device • Magnetic Control • Thrusters 36
Modeling the Earth Magnetic Field • Carl Friedrich Gauss • A magnetic dipole 37
Modeling the Earth Magnetic Field • The lack of electric surface current • Field as the gradient of a scalar potential • The absence of magnetic monopoles • Thus • Spherical nature of the boundary at the Earth’s surface • n=1: Dipole • n=2: Auardupole • n=3: Octupole • More coefficients more accurate results 38
Modeling the Earth Magnetic Field 10th generation of IGRF coefficients Up to 13 196 coefficients 39
