Abstract
This chapter describes procedures for reorienting a spacecraft from one attitude to another. Sections 19.1 and 19.2 describe maneuvers using magnetic coils and Section 19.3 describes maneuvers using gas jets. Section 19.4 then describes procedures for inertial guidance maneuvers. Finally, Section 19.5 discusses the special class of attitude acquisition maneuvers in which the spacecraft starts in an unknown or uncontrolled attitude and ends in an attitude appropriate for mission operations. This chapter uses the general attitude control concepts introduced in Section 15.3 as well as the equations of spacecraft motion presented in Sections 16.1 and 16.2.
