Technology for Designing the Angular Motion of CubeSat Nanosatellites with a Passive Stabilization System

The paper discusses the technology for designing motion relative to the center of mass of a CubeSat nanosatellite with a passive gravitational and/or aerodynamic stabilization system. Based on the previously proposed mathematical models of motion relative to the center of mass, a comprehensive approach has been developed to the simultaneous selection of design parameters, such as shift of the center of pressure relative to the center of mass, moments of inertia, as well as to setting requirements for the initial conditions of angular motion to stabilize the CubeSat close to the specified attitude. This approach is implemented in the development of CubeSat nanosatellites at Samara University.
