There are variety of errors that might affect the attitude motion of a spacecraft. Discuss what type of errors can be considered, and what kind of influence those errors might have on the resulting attitude motion. In all of our analysis so far, we have had an assumption that the orbit is circular. However, in general, we may also want to consider elliptic orbits depending on mission scenarios. Discuss how the equations of motion and the subsequent analysis would be different if we consider elliptic orbits. Can we find relative equilibrium solutions? How would the stability chart look like? Can we infer the attitude motion in elliptic orbits from the circular orbit results?

Question

There are variety of errors that might affect the attitude motion of a spacecraft. Discuss what type of errors can be considered, and what kind of influence those errors might have on the resulting attitude motion.

In all of our analysis so far, we have had an assumption that the orbit is circular. However, in general,
we may also want to consider elliptic orbits depending on mission scenarios. Discuss how the equations
of motion and the subsequent analysis would be different if we consider elliptic orbits. Can we find
relative equilibrium solutions? How would the stability chart look like? Can we infer the attitude
motion in elliptic orbits from the circular orbit results?
