Popis: The attitude determination in LEO Satellite like KOMPSAT is one of the most important issues for Sun-Acquisition. Particularly, in KOMPSAT, the roll axis direction can be determined since the sun sensor gives the information on the Euler angle for pitch and yaw axes in Sun-Acquisition mode. In other words, it is the problem to determine the two unknown axes direction with one axis knowledge. This paper proposes a new effective method for attitude determination of general LEO satellites when one axis information is avilable and proves its usefulness throughout the simulation.
