Abstract

The spacecraft interacting with the geomagnetic field in electrodynamic mode is subject to parametric perturbations; parameters of the spacecraft are controlled quasi-periodic functions. Under some conditions, there exist control algorithms for spacecraft electrodynamic parameters that allow realizing systems of spacecraft angular position stabilization. Stability of the spacecraft stabilized orientation is proved both analytically and by PC computations.
