A geosynchronous Satellite in general, has two momentum management logics to maintain its wheel momentum tin the stable region. The one is applied in order to control accumulative wheel momentum in the momentum dumping mode and the other is utilized in order to control attitude errors during the stationkeeping. In this paper, the momentum management logics are explained for dumping/sationkeeping mode and the logics are verified by simulation on the 3 attitude subsystem.

We study three axis attitude control method including two axis high agile maneuver using four reaction wheels and two control moment gyros. We investigate singularity conditions due to two control moment gyros and propose singularity escape method. Based on this, we propose actuator control algorithm for high agile maneuver. Also, we propose actuator momentum management method which preserves momentum of reaction wheels and control moment gyroscopes before and after satellite attitude control. Through numerical simulation, we show that our method achieves three axis attitude control including two axis high agile maneuver and preserves actuators' momentum.

There are two main software in COMS ground station at the normal mode operation - stationkeeping and wheel off-loading. In this paper, ground software validation test for wheel off-loading is summarized and described. The wheel off-loading was performed the design change from E3000 heritage and analyzed. The wheel off-loading of ground software has two part; one is wheel off-loading management for parameters change at the thruster set switching time and the other is wheel off-loading set-point being sent to satellite for the reference momentum.
