わが国の科学衛星における姿勢制御の現状と展望

抄録

Recent missions of Japanese spacecraft for space researches are briefly presented, and their requirements on the attitude control are reviewed both for three-axis controlled satellites and spin-stabilized ones. The attitude control schemes developed and the systems designed are described by putting emphases on their specific features and the problems encountered during the developments. Key technology areas which will require further attention to achieve the near-future science missions under study are identified.
