An attitude control system for a satellite is presented that can determine on time values for attitude control thrusters without use of attitude rate sensors, such as those based on gyros. The attitude control systems uses the attitude values from a star tracker to determine both attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values directly from the star tracker values, where the processing is performed using quaternions. From the attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values, a set of thruster on time values are determined.
