The report derives the dynamical model of Engineering Test Satellite-VI (ETS-VI), which is a large-scale high-performance test satellite launched by H-II rocket in the summer launch window of 1994. The mission of ETS-VI is to establish the bus technology necessary for realizing a 2-ton-class geosynchronous three-axis stabilized application satellite. The National Aerospace Laboratory is participating in the on-orbit flight experiments of ETS-VI for the system identification and attitude control. Numerical simulation software have been developed and used to check the onboard control algorithm before launch. The paper describes their details.
