Abstract
Solar radiation pressure (SRP) is a major disturbance for a spacecraft operated in deep space missions, affecting its orbit and attitude, and high accuracy of the SRP calculation is required. The accuracy of SRP calculation is affected by the shape and surface characteristics of the satellite. However, existing computational models do not sufficiently take into account the exact reflective properties of the satellite surface. A detailed reflection model and considering the optical characteristics yield a different SRP and its torque from the conventional ones, resulting in a different attitude motion. In this study, an SRP calculation method that considers the exact reflective properties is applied to investigate the attitude dynamics.
