Abstract: A spin stabilized satellite reorientation maneuver in the inertial space is investigated. Spin axis pointing and nutation damping magnetic attitude control algorithms are utilized. Evolutionary equations for the oscillations of a symmetrical satellite near the required position are derived. The exact solution for the wobble amplitude is obtained for the averaged equations of motion. Spin axis attitude angles relative to the required direction are analyzed. Optimal control gain is found for the reorientation maneuver. Theoretical results are verified with numerical simulation.
