Abstract

Need for agile satellites increases for performing various mission due to increase of satellite image applications and users. This paper performs attitude maneuver analysis by using Satellite Tool Kit(STK) made by AGI. In order to automate the STK analysis process, a MATLAB program is developed to generate STK input data and to process STK output data. Five attitude maneuver modes are analyzed and attitude angle variation and required torques are calculated.
