Abstract

PurposeTo compare the conventional reaction wheel and battery systems with the combined energy and attitude control system. The system mass, volume and power requirements are revealed corresponding to the small satellite missions.Design/methodology/approachAll the relevant system parametric equations are established. The system mass, volume and power are estimated accordingly for the conventional and the combined systems. Then, both systems are compared with respect to the typical small satellite missions.FindingsThe combined system outperforms the conventional system in most small satellite missions. However, there are some small satellite missions where the conventional systems are better in terms of the mass and volume budgets.Research limitations/implicationsThis research work is exclusively for small satellites in the LEO orbits.Practical implicationsA reasonable information for sizing the combined energy and attitude control system is established. The system mass, volume and power budgets can be extracted from this research work.Originality/valueThe results provide an instant answer regarding the feasibility of the combined energy and attitude control system for small satellites.
