Abstract The kinematic model of a body is a system of equations that define the position in space of each particle of the body from the values of a set of variables. The time variation of these variables describes the motion of the body. In this chapter the main reference frames involved in satellite’s attitude and orbit control are defined. After, we review the different ways to describe the rigid motion and how to express all the kinematic variables and their time derivatives that we need later to formulate the dynamics. Finally, the kinematics of the flexible body are described by adding a set of deformation functions on to the rigid body kinematics .
