Abstract: An arrangement for attitude control and stabilization of a three-axis stabilized, bias momentum spacecraft which is equipped with a spin wheel arrangement that is capable of generating an angular momentum vector in a predeterminable direction, as well as control torques about all three axes of a spacecraft fixed system of coordinates, independently of one another. The control arrangement is equipped with an attitude sensor, which measures the attitude deviation about a first lateral axis (roll axis) oriented perpendicularly to the predetermined direction, with actuators for generating external control torques.
