Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back Rationale for Situational Attitude Control of a Remote Sensing Spacecraft Sokolov I.A. The paper presents an analysis of existing methods for controlling the spatial rotation of Earth remote sensing spacecraft and their shooting modes. Numerical simulation results were obtained and presented using the example of a small spacecraft with flywheel engines, confirming the feasibility and need for the use of situational control of the orientation of spacecraft. Keywords: situational management, spacecraft, flywheel engine. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.2.2025.1462 Pp. 40-46.
