ADCS - Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control provides a complete introduction to spacecraft control. The book covers all elements of attitude control system design, including kinematics, dynamics, orbits, disturbances, actuators, sensors, and mission operations. Essential hardware details are provided for star cameras, reaction wheels, sun sensors, and other key components. The book explores how to design a control system for a spacecraft, control theory, and actuator and sensor details. Examples are drawn from the author's 40 years of industrial experience with spacecraft such as GGS, GPS IIR, Mars Observer, and commercial communications satellites, and includes historical background and real-life examples.

Paluszek, Michael: -

Mr. Paluszek is President of Princeton Satellite Systems (PSS), which he founded in 1992. He holds an Engineer's degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics (1979), an SM in Aeronautics and Astronautics (1979), and an SB in Electrical Engineering (1976), all from MIT. He is the PI on the ARPA-E OPEN grant to develop a compact nuclear fusion reactor based on the Princeton Field Reversed Configuration concept. He is also PI on the ARPA-E GAMOW project to develop power electronics for the fusion industry. He is PI on a project to design a closed-loop Brayton Cycle heat engine for space applications. Prior to founding PSS, he worked at GE Astro Space in East Windsor, NJ. At GE, he designed or led the design of several attitude control systems including GPS IIR, Inmarsat 3, and GGS Polar platform. He also was an ACS analyst on over a dozen satellite launches, including the GSTAR III recovery. Before joining GE, he worked at the Draper Laboratory and at MIT, where he still teaches Attitude Control Systems (course 16.S685/16.S890). He has 14 patents registered to his name.
