Results of the Nanosatellite Munin Attitude Determination using solar arrays output
Abstract:
A problem of attitude determination of the passive magnetic stabilized nanosatellite Munin using solar array output is considered. The attitude control system consists of a strong permanent magnet and a set of hysteresis rods fabricated from the soft magnetic material treated using a specific technology. Developed software for the nanosatellite attitude determination is given. Results of its verification and attitude motion determination are described.
