More Information
Summary:Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to minimize command dynamics of a satellite are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a steering law module to calculate a first set of vectors to maneuver a space vehicle, and calculate a second set of vectors based on projecting the first set of vectors onto a fixed plane. The apparatus further includes an attitude controller to generate an attitude command based on the first and the second sets of vectors to prevent an unplanned rotation by the space vehicle.
