Abstract
In this paper it is proven that three-axis stabilization of satellites using magnetorqers is uniformly globally asymptotically stable (UGAS). The application of Matrosovs theorem allows for removal of the assumption that the geomagnetic (internal and external) field is periodic in order to establish this stability result. The results are applied to a model of a Norwegian pico-satellite.
