Assignment#1 Survey on sensors and actuatorsSlide-5Major applications Magnetic Torquers are used in the field of Spacecraft Attitude ControlBasic working principleRunning electric current through a coil produces a magnetic field that is able to react with the magnetic field of the earth. The torque generated is used to control the attitude of the spacecraft.The only alternative in spacecraft attitude control is in mass ejection (rocket thrusters) and momentum wheels.01/13/19ECE5320 Mechatronics.
