Abstract
The theory of attitude control for satellites is presented. The definition of “attitude” is followed by a description of the several disturbances and of the methods to determine the current status of rotational motion. An attitude prediction into the near future allows for active control, either in one or in three axes, either done autonomously on board or by commanding. The principles of attitude propagation and control are described, as well as the possible types of control mechanism. Comparisons between theory and practice are made and several examples are given from real missions.
