Research on modeling and simulation of satellite attitude control system

Satellite is a specific product with a 4-H characteristic: high-tech, high-cost, high-benefit and high-risk, which makes satellite difficult to develop. However, simulation technology has the potential to fix the problem. It is highly reliable, non-destructive and can be recycled regardless of the time and space. All the advantages enable the technology to provide an effective way to reduce the cost and risk of satellite production. The paper focuses on the modeling technology which is used for simulating satellite on-orbit performance and dynamic environment, thus it can provide a general simulation framework for test during the development of a satellite.
