Research on Angular Momentum Management in Touchless Attitude Control of Spacecraft

In order to solve the problem of angular momentum saturation caused by the geomagnetic field in the electromagnetic control process, this paper carried out research on the angular momentum management method. Considering the working ability of the electromagnetic coils carried by the target spacecraft, it is divided into two situations: underactuated and full-equipped. Both situations are discussed and analyzed separately, numerical simulation results verify the theoretical derivation. It shows that the angular momentum management method is feasible, and has potential application to on-orbit touchless electromagnetic control.
