Abstract

The challenge of damping high tumbling rates after deployment of spacecraft from a rocket using PCB-integrated (printed circuit board) embedded planar coils that acts as pseudo- 2D magnetorquers is explored for higher form factor small satellites (2 U and 4 U). The magnetorquers cannot generate the...
