Satellite Detumbling

nonlinear model predictive detumbling of under-actuated satellites with a single-axis magnetic actuator

We proposed an innovative approach to detumble satellites’ triple-axis angular velocities with only one single-axis magnetic torquer. Our paper introduces a control method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) and compares it with B-dot control algorithm.
