ABSTRACT:
Electrochromic devices are applied to selected areas on a spacecraft. Radiant energy characteristics of the electrochromic devices are altered by applying appropriate electrical excitation signals to the devices to create a force on the spacecraft due to light impinging on the devices sufficient to alter the orientation thereof or maintain it under the action of external disturbance forces or torques.
