碩士 === 淡江大學 === 機械工程學系 === 90 === This paper focuses on the attitude determination and control system of Nanosat. The information about the satellite’s attitude is important for the stability maintenance of the satellite. Some specified space mission needs the precise attitude determination. According to the mission requirement of Nanosat and the design experience of Sapphire and Webersat, this paper applies the passive magnetic attitude control system to Nanosat. And this method is investigated in this paper. According to the payload mission requirement, the three-axis fluxgate magnetometer is employed to be an attitude sensor and the solar cell on the Nanosat is employed to be a sun sensor. And the attitude determination is achieved by the three-axis fluxgate magnetometer and the solar cell (auxiliary attitude sensor).
