Learning-Based Adaptive MPC for Magnetorquer-Only Satellite Attitude Control

Patrick Schwartz, Abhishek Cauligi
From the abstract

Nanosatellites (e.g., CubeSats) have the potential to carry out useful science and exploration activities for outer solar system exploration, but their small size leads to tradeoffs between attitude control and science capabilities. Magnetorquers offer a unique compromise as compact actuators that enable three-axis attitude control, but suffer from a loss of control authority and require full knowledge of the planetary magnetic field.
