Spin-Stabilized Spacecrafts: Analytical Attitude Propagation Using Magnetic Torques

An analytical approach for spin-stabilized satellites attitude propagation is presented, considering the influence of the residual magnetic torque and eddy currents torque. It is assumed two approaches to examine the influence of external torques acting during the motion of the satellite, with the E...
