Abstract


This paper extends the results of the previous work published by the same Authors. It focused on the performance of the Magnetic Torque Gimbal Angle Compensation (MTGAC) system. While the incorporation of the MTGAC system compensated the drifted gimbals angle favorably, the attitude performance of the satellite is also expected to be affected. Therefore, evaluation through numerical simulations using Matlab®/Simulink® software to see the effect of the MTGAC on the satellite attitude performance is performed where the attitude performance of the configured satellite during gimbal angle compensation for both with and without MTGAC system are generated and compared. Results from the simulation exhibit that the satellite attitude performance is improved with incorporation of MTGAC system.
