magnetic attitude of satellite
1Attitude dynamics and control — The attitude of a body is its orientation as perceived in a certain frame of reference; providing a vector along which a spacecraft is pointing is a description of its attitude. Dynamics is the term for the modeling of changing conditions, due to …
2Injun (satellite) — The Injun program was a series of six satellites designed and built by researchers at the University of Iowa. They were intended to observe various radiation and magnetic phenomena in the ionosphere and beyond.The design specifics of the… …
