Magnetic roll/yaw attitude control of a momentum biased near polar orbit satellite

Two magnetic attitude control laws, with Earth sensor and magnetometer measurements or with Earth sensor measurements only, are compared. Stability conditions are derived for both systems and simulation results are shown.
