Abstract The paper considers a process of a controlled attitude motion of a dual-spin nanosatellite. The main goal of control is to achieve a gravitationally stabilized position in a circular orbit in the shortest possible time. The dual-spin nanosatellite contains a gravitational damper and an internal rotor inside a movable unit. The movable unit can fulfill small controlled inclination relative to the main body of the nanosatellite. The mathematical model of the attitude dynamics of the nanosatellite is built and appropriate control laws are developed. Simulation results confirm the performance of the gravitational damper and efficiency of the control algorithm.
