The Coupled Orbit-Attitude Dynamics and Control of Electric Sail in Displaced Solar Orbits

Displaced solar orbits for spacecraft propelled by electric sails are investigated. Since the propulsive thrust is induced by the sail attitude, the orbital and attitude dynamics of electric-sail-based spacecraft are coupled and required to be investigated together. However, the coupled dynamics and...
