Abstract
The problem of global inertial attitude regulation for a small spacecraft using only magnetic coils as actuators is considered and a solution to the problem in the form of a nonlinear low-gain PD-like control law is proposed and analyzed. Simulation results are also provided, which demonstrate the feasibility of the approach
