摘要: A system for compensating the disturbance torques applied to a satellite, which eliminates requirement thruster control loop. The torque itself is used as in order super-impose incidental misalignment of solar panel arrays an artificial that can cause momentum vector be adjusted desired direction restore correct attitude satellite. controlled orbit only by sailing, organizing at prescribed times suitable manoeuvres one panels adjust array configuration when roll angle satellite exceeds determined threshold value.
