Abstract

The purpose of designing a spacecraft Altitude and dynamic control models play an important role in an interplanetary space mission. Particular emphasis is controlling spacecraft Altitude by sail tilting and shifting. In addition, investigate an uncertain balance amongst the centre of pressure and centre of mass on a single axis gimbaled control. Implies a method of Monte Carlo is with standing a significant of solar pressure disturbance torque in deep space mission. A flight test experiment drives in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO), hence, authenticate the source of solar sailing is also suggested. Parameters are incorporating to study and demonstrate the various principals and methods involved in altitude control design and dynamic modeling at LEO. Mitigation of disturbance torques was also examined.
