Abstract
A satellite maneuvers through orbit with the use of an attitude control system (ACS) to stay on course and always pointing towards earth reference. This maximizes the solar cell-sun and camera-earth coverage, a process made possible with hardware and software embedded in the satellite that continuously control and adjust for optimun performance.
