Overview:
Sun pointing spacecraft, spin stabilized at 15 RPM |
||
Detail:
-Autonomous sun acquisition and spin-up from any orientation -On-orbit inertia adjustment aligns imager with spin axis -On-orbit mass properties adjustment direct sun pointing error measurement to ~0.05 degrees -Magnetic torqrods used for all control -Sun pointing (precession) control to <0.2 degrees -Spin rate stability to <4.5 arcseconds per second |
