ABSTRACT:
A method for achieving satellite (24) attitude stabilization against the undesired influences of solar pressure or other attitude disturbances to be used with earth-orbiting satellites of the type employing two solar collection panels (30a), (30b) extending from the satellite body in generally opposite directions (36), (38). Synchronized simultaneous movement of both solar panels about their normal sun-tracking position causes desirable torques to be generated which have a cancelling influence on the undesired satellite movement caused by solar pressure or other attitude disturbances.
