ABSTRACT:
A spacecraft is provided which has an environmental disturbance torque filter that predicts the environmental disturbance torque acting on the spacecraft, and an unloading control section 5 which establishes, from the predicted environmental disturbance torque 4 and the angular momentum residual 2, a magnetic moment to be generated, by considering the environmental disturbance torque, thereby providing a reduction in magnetic unloading power consumption and a reduction in the size and weight of related hardware.
