Abstract

The five degrees of freedom air bearing spacecraft simulator is an important device to simulate micro-satellite's autonomous attitude control and orbital maneuver on the ground. By analyzing structure of the simulator, three coordinates are defined. Then the orbital model and attitude model are constructed based on spacecraft attitude dynamics. Because the actuator of the simulator is a cold gas propulsion system, a state equation is derived at last according to actual situation, and this state equation is the foundation of the further research on the simulator.
