Satellite Attitude Control
Satellite Attitude Control refers to the methods used to manage the orientation of a satellite in space. This is crucial for ensuring that the satellite's instruments, such as cameras and antennas, are correctly aligned with their targets on Earth or in space.
To achieve this, satellites use various systems, including reaction wheels, thrusters, and magnetic torquers. These systems adjust the satellite's position by applying forces or torques, allowing it to maintain or change its orientation as needed for optimal performance.
