  1. In the case of noncooperative transmitter, the article presents six attitude and antenna pointing parameter strategies.
  2. For multi body satellites with inter satellite link antennas, it's an important task to carry out the physical simulation experiment research on the combined control of attitude and antenna pointing.
  3. Differences between predicted and actual star positions are used to determine the spacecraft payload attitude and to compensate for radiometer pointing errors due to orbit, attitude drift and thermal distortion.
  4. Finally, attitude stabilization control of the satellite and pointing precision of the payload are researched in the phase of infrared camera tracking object.
