A: The attitude control system ensures satellites maintain proper orientation in space. It adjusts roll, pitch, and yaw angles to align antennas and solar panels. This stability is critical for communication and power generation.
A: AOCS manages both satellite orientation (attitude) and orbital position. While attitude control focuses on alignment, orbit control adjusts trajectory using thrusters. Combined, they ensure mission-specific operational accuracy.
A: Precise attitude control keeps communication antennas directed toward Earth or relay satellites. Misalignment can disrupt signal transmission. This ensures reliable data transfer and network coverage.
A: Key components include sensors (gyroscopes, star trackers), actuators (reaction wheels, thrusters), and control algorithms. Sensors detect orientation, while actuators execute corrections. Software processes data for real-time adjustments.
A: External forces like solar radiation and gravity gradients cause disturbances. Limited fuel for thrusters and sensor accuracy degradation over time add complexity. Robust algorithms mitigate these issues.
A: Reaction wheels rotate to generate torque, adjusting satellite orientation without propellant. They enable precise, fuel-efficient attitude adjustments. However, they require periodic desaturation using thrusters.
A: Yes, modern systems use reprogrammable software and modular hardware. Updates can optimize pointing accuracy or prioritize new targets. This flexibility supports evolving mission requirements.
