The MECB (Brazilian Complete Space Mission) remote sensing satellites (RSS) will operate from a circular polar heliosynchronous orbit to take pictures from the Earth in the visible and near infrared bands, with global coverage of 4 days. These satellites will be three axis stabilized with active attitude control. The operating modes of the attitude and orbit control subsystem (AOCS) and the several maneuvers necessary to lead from unknown attitude and angular rate, after separation, to nominal Earth pointing for photography are presented.
