Angular Microacceleration Simulation for a Satellite in Very Low Earth Orbit
摘要
Abstract
A numerical simulation of satellite dynamics in a near-circular orbit at an altitude of 250 km is performed. The satellite is equipped with a magnetic attitude control system that complements its aerodynamic stabilization properties. A continuous-thrust engine is utilized to mitigate the effects of atmospheric drag. A brief description of the models used is provided. The magnitudes of microaccelerations are simulated and analyzed with respect to various satellite parameters, the models employed, and the algorithms implemented.
