(TU Delft Discrete Mathematics and Optimization) Contributor Gill, E.K.A. (promotor) Guo, J. (copromotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2020-06-26 Abstract Spacecraft orbit and attitude dynamics have been classically seen as two separatedsubjects, since the effect of attitude in orbit dynamics was deemed too small to beconsidered, or simply, modeled as noise in the estimation process for most satellites.In the eighties, a study by [1] showed that for a very large spacecraft, approximatelythe size of the International Space Station, the effect of the attitude in theorbit dynamics should be considered.
