Scientific paper

The orientation of the vector to the sun, called sun vector here for brevity relative to the orbit normal vector and relative to fixed or movable satellite panels is of special importance for earth observing satellites in drifting orbits, such as the ESA Sun Earth Observatory and Climatology Satellite. A drifting orbit is referred to as an orbit with high modal procession rate. The sun vector is expressed in components of the earth centered inertial frame. The orientation with respect to other frames of reference is found by proper coordinate transformations. The computational procedure for time histories of various solar aspect angles is outlined and example results are presented.
