Scientific paper

Small Satellites are establishing themselves as important tools for exploring our solar system. Developments in micro-electronics have enabled small and low-cost deep space probes to complement conventional space platforms in long-duration deep space missions. The paper presents a baseline design of an attitude control system for a spacecraft performing a Near Earth Object (NEO) fly-by mission. Following the autonomous escape and cruise phases, the NEO encounter phase is the most critical mission phase with the attitude control performed by a cluster of small Control Moment Gyros (CMG's). The satellite needs to be rotated relatively fast to keep the NEO within its field of view for the imaging of the NEO. Simulations demonstrate the practicality and versatility on the use of CMGs for low-cost NEO deep space missions.
