Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include attitude determination and control system (ADCS) and associated methods. Systems for determining attitude may be used by various vehicle types, such as to determine the vehicle's attitude relative to an external point of reference. The ADCS may be used for passive or active stabilization of spin on multiple axes. The ADCS uses an incorporated autonomous control algorithm to characterize the effects of actuation of the system components and simultaneously trains its response to attitude actuators. This characterization generates and updates a movement model, where the movement model is used to indicate or predict the effect of one or more attitude actuators given vehicle state information.
