Kinematics
After that one develops the differential equations that describe attitude motion
for a given angular velocity of the satellite.
However, considering that the definitions of vector and its representation, force,
Newton's second law, linear and angular momentum have already been made
in the course of dynamics the first sections are left for the student to review.
Vector and Attitude Representations
A reference frame or coordinate system, is generally taken to be a set of three
unit vectors that are mutually perpendicular, that is : reference frame is a
triad of orthonormal vectors.
• The examples are : Inertial frame 𝑖1 , 𝑖3 , 𝑖2 ; orbital frame
𝑜1 , 𝑜3 , 𝑜2 , body frame 𝑏1 , 𝑏3 , 𝑏2 (the spacecraft)
