Abstract

The paper studies the problem of controlling the orientation of an Earth observation satellite with a single solar panel. For a simplified model of a satellite we develop a control algorithm which allows to asymptotically track a harmonically changing reference signal. As a mathematical tool we employ the general regulation theory. The obtained theoretical results are successfully tested on a numerical example.
