摘要：

To keep the proper orientation of the satellite is an essential issue for most space missions. However, tumbling motion of a satellite after separation from the launcher is inevitable and thus the de-tumbling is the first task of the attitude control system of a satellite. Cubesats, one of the nano-class satellites, are defined by Calpoly with masses less than 10kg. A team in National Formosa University is developing a 2-U Cubesat, named as NUTSat, to promote the aviation safety. The cubesat will carry a ADS-B receiver as the main payload to collect the flight information of civil aircraft beneath the orbit. An attitude control system of the cubesat is designed to perform the de-tumbling and attitude control and keep the ADS-B antenna towards to the earth. The cubesat has two magnetic torquers and one coil to interact with the earth's magnetic field to generate proper torques to change the attitude. A three-axis magnetic sensor is used to estimate the satellite's orientation. At this phase, the de-tumbling has been validated by simulation. Further attitude pointing controller design is undergoing.
