Magnetic Attitude Control For Spacecraft with Flexible Appendages

The design of an attitude control system for a flexible spacecraft using magnetic actuation is considered. The nonlinear, linear, and modal equations of motion are developed for a general flexible body. Magnetic control is shown to be instantaneously underactuated, and is only controllable in the ti...
