Abstract
The dynamics of UOSAT after launch are briefly reviewed and also the stages which are believed necessary to achieve a transition from an arbitrary state of nutation to one of damped gravity gradient and correct Earth-centred orientation. Novel algorithms have been developed as a form of adaptive commutation using the on-board magnetorquer.
