MOTION CONTROL APPARATUS OF SATELLITE AND METHOD THEREOF USING SOLAR ARRAY

摘要

PURPOSE: Pose control device and method of a satellite using a solar panel are provided to save the fuel of a satellite by eliminating the need to use a thruster for momentum dumping even capable of being performed under a small reaction torque. CONSTITUTION: A pose control device of a satellite using a solar panel comprises a support shaft(200), a support member(300), and a step motor. The support shaft is installed on both sides of a satellite to be able to be disappeared by a driving unit. The support member is installed on the outer end of the support shaft. The support member includes one or more installation surfaces. The step motor is installed on the installation surface of the support member. The step motor is connected to a solar panel. The step motor rotates the solar panel. The step motor includes a first step motor(400) and a second step motor(410).
