<p>An apparatus for compensating for disturbances (TN<w>, TS<w>) on an orbiting satellite is associated with the satellite and comprises actuation means (46) for actuating the satellite in at least one predetermined satellite axis in response to particular satellite attitude compensation control signals (TP<C>). Control means (44) provide the compensation control signals (TP<C>) to the actuation means (46) in the at least one predetermined axis, the control means (44) receiving satellite attitude measurement signals ( THETA P<m>) from a sensor (52). Further provided is a solar wing compensation device (50) for computing an estimated solar wing disturbance signal ( alpha <C>WNI/< ANd >WN; alpha <C>WSI/# SP &circ& #</FLA>WS) in the at least one axis and applying a solar wing control signal ( alpha <C>WNI/< ANd >WN; alpha <C>WSI/< ANd >WS) to the actuation means (46) in order to compensate for the disturbance (TN<w>, TS<w>) placed on the satellite from actuation of at least one solar wing associated with the satellite. <IMAGE></p> |
