Compute satellite attitude to align the solar panels of a satellite perpendicular to the sun at any given time of the year. Compute satellite attitude to orient it towards a given star. Compute the satellite angular velocity of the attitude states. Compute the satellite maneuver time between two given attitude states. Compute StarTracker angle with the sun, moon, and the earth limb.
Algorithms involve astrodynamics, celestial mechanics, orbital mechanics.
