Solar Height Angle Analysis and Attitude Maneuver Design of InclinedOrbit Small Satellite

Considering the optic attitude sensor of inclinedorbit small satellite interfered by sunlight, the variation law of solar height angle is analyzed. For computing and analyzing easily, a handy experience formula of solar height angle is proposed. Based on the formula, a yawaxis attitude maneuver scheme is presented, which can avoid sunlight interferer and make thermal control design and solar array drive law design conveniently.
