Abstract :
Today satellites have important role in all parts of human living. For satellite correct communication should track satellite and so satellite antenna or camera should track Earth station correctly. Both correct attitude control and attitude determination are two factors to tracking from satellite. By using attitude control simulator could simulate attitude of satellite in each point of orbit with each disturbance. In this paper design of a satellite simulator by different methods of control and determination is investigated and some results are presented
