| Popis: | achieved with zero control torque, enabling asymptotic stabilization of these equilibria in the local-vertical–localhorizontal frame despite the underactuation inherent in magnetic control. Lyapunov stability properties of these equilibria are determined under specific types of magnetic control, including a new angular momentum error reduction control law. Performance of a 3 kg CubeSat class microsailcraft is examined under magnetic coning control, showing that reliable convergence to equilibria in local-vertical–local-horizontal occurs, even in some naturally unstable cases, but that magnetic stabilization of other unstable equilibria is tenuous. |
