Attitude Determination and Control System

Main objectives of active attitude control:
1. to stop of initial rotation
2. to set up and maintain required attitude

As sensors for orientation are used solar panels (measurement of the current from different panels) and three-axis magnetometer.

Action elements are three electromagnetic coils.

We have developed SW for slowing down of satellite rotation.
