Abstract
The spacecraft attitude dynamics and control problem is introduced as a broad class of nonlinear systems. Some of the basic properties of these systems are described from a system theory point of view. Various system theory concepts and research topics which have applicability to this class of systems are identified and briefly described. The subject of multibody dynamics is presented in a vector space setting and related to system theory concepts.
