Abstract: 

We discuss the problem of reconfiguration of the Earth observation spacecraft’s attitude control system when the primary actuators, reaction wheels, are failed. Some known redundant configurations of reaction wheels are analyzed. We propose an approach to attitude control with the use of «pyramid» redundant configuration including one at presence of faults and reaction wheel model-based diagnosis method.
Keywords: primary actuators failure, reconfiguration of the spacecraft’s attitude control system
