ADCS - Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control provides a complete introduction to spacecraft control. The book covers all elements of attitude control system design, including kinematics, dynamics, orbits, disturbances, actuators, sensors, and mission operations. Essential hardware details are provided for star cameras, reaction wheels, sun sensors, and other key components. The book explores how to design a control system for a spacecraft, control theory, and actuator and sensor details. Examples are drawn from the author’s 40 years of industrial experience with spacecraft such as GGS, GPS IIR, Mars Observer, and commercial communications satellites, and includes historical background and real-life examples.

Mr. Paluszek is President of Princeton Satellite Systems which he founded in 1992. He has the degree of Engineer of Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT, an SM in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT and an SB in Electrical Engineering also from MIT. He is PI on the ARPA-E OPEN grant to develop a compact nuclear fusion reactor based on the Princeton Field Reversed Configuration concept. He is PI on a project to develop an optical navigation system for NASA. He is working on the control of clusters of satellite for space science research, two stage to orbit launch vehicles with hypersonic aircraft first stages and electric aircraft. He developed an advanced attitude control system for the U.S. Army. Prior to founding PSS, he worked at GE Astro Space in East Windsor, NJ. At GE he designed or led the design of several attitude control systems including GPS IIR, Inmarsat 3, Mars Observer and the GGS Polar platform. He also was an ACS analyst on over a dozen commercial satellite launches, including the GSTAR III recovery. He supported launches both in the U.S. and Japan. Before joining GE, he worked at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory and at MIT. He is author of dozens of papers and the inventor on fourteen patents.
