Abstract
Methods for reducing spacecraft momentum dumping using radiation pressure and mass-center portion management are presented. Relocation of mass center of the spacecraft by mounting a propellant blowdown propellant tank can reduce the momentum dumping. In this method the mass center of the spacecraft is moved to the propellant blowdown direction as propellant is consumed during its lifetime. The effectiveness of this method is improved when satellite consumes the propellant because of increment of its moment arm. Orthogonal positioning of the solar array to the sun direction can minimized solar radiation disturbance torque. This method is dependent on the battery's capacity and the satellite's power consumption. Solar Array offset angle control method is complicated and can save propellant for the momentum dumping process. The proposed method also reduce propellant consumption and extends satellite lifetime.
