Abstract:During the design stage of a spacecraft it is important to carry out a thorough analysis of potential onboard equipment failures in order to develop means of their mitigation so that the satellite would remain fully functional for the entirety of its lifespan. The article demonstrates an idea towards establishing a backup satellite attitude control system based on the photovoltaic array of the power control system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
