Abstract: 
An algorithmic support for the attitude control and stabilization system of a small spacecraft (micro-satellite) is considered. This system uses geomagnetic field effects only in both the measuring subsystem and the control subsystem. Fast solution is attained for the orientation and stabilization problem with any initial spacecraft attitude and large angular rates by means of effective algorithms for state estimation and control.
Keywords: attitude control, micro-satellite, stabilization
