Abstract

Attitude dynamics of nanosatellites with a module on retractable beams is considered. The movable module is attached to the main body of the nanosatellite with the help of retractable beams of variable length. The attitude control is fulfilling by the beams length changing that translates the position of the mass center and creates the torque from the jet-engine with constant fixation relative the main body. The movable module can represent the multifunctional element, e.g. telescope, radiometer etc. Such control scheme allows to use the functional module as the simple actuator of the control system. So in this case the control don’t need the presence of special executive bodies.
