Improvement of OTS attitude control (during stationkeeping) using a microprocessor
Abstract
The use of an onboard microprocessor for OTS attitude control is discussed. It is shown that attitude correction by telecommanded gas jets during short instants is not optimal. A solution is proposed based on an onboard microprocessor system. The correction principle of the system is described, and programming details are given.
