Time-Varying Model Predictive Attitude Control for Magnetically Actuated Dual-Spin Satellites
Attitude control hardware for small satellites is often limited in power and space availability given the importance of the science instruments they exist to transport. To mitigate this, a dual-spin stabilized satellite actuated via magnetic torque rods reduces the space and power required of the attitude control system, but may require advanced control policies. This paper explores the attitude control of a magnetically actuated dual-spin stabilized CubeSat with model predictive control using …
