Abstract
In an orbital attitude control device (), an ideal thrust axis direction calculator () calculates an ideal thrust axis direction based on information of a predetermined orbit, an ideal attitude calculator () calculates an ideal attitude of the satellite based on the ideal thrust axis direction and a solar direction, and a control torque calculator () calculates an ideal control torque that makes the attitude of the satellite follow the ideal attitude and a torque restraint plane in which the solar direction is orthogonal to a rotational axis of the solar array panel, defines an evaluation function obtained by weighting a distance from the ideal control torque and a distance from the torque restraint plane and then summing the weighted distances, and calculates the control torque that allows the drive constraint to be satisfied and the evaluation function to be minimized.
