Line 1:
In the context of [[spacecraft]], '''attitude control''' refers to controlling the angular position and rotation of the spacecraft, either relative to the object that it is orbiting, or relative to the [[celestial sphere]].
Attitude control can be maintained by
* using a variety of types of [[thruster]]s, * or by the use of [[flywheel]]s, * or of magnetic field coils to exert a moment against the local magnetic field. | |||
