| Summary: | The geomagnetic field is the main source of information considered when dealing with the magnetic attitude control
system of a satellite. In this regards, the mathematical model of the geomagnetic field is described first in this paper.The simulation has been performed for the complex and simplified models, and the results show that the generated
Earth’s magnetic field values are almost identical for both models. For demonstration purposes, the simplified
model is chosen to simulate the attitude control system of the small satellite. The performance of the system exhibits
that the attitude steady state error is achieved with values of ±0.5 degrees. Thus, the magnetic attitude control
system is a promising option for small satellites. |
