An active magnetic attitude control system through spin stabilization has been simulated. The attitude control including control of the spin axis, damping of the nutation angle and control of the spin rate. These are implemented through three magnetic coils or torqrods as magnetic torquers. Commonly, two transverse axis actuators are used for controlling the spin rate and one longitudinal axis actuator...
