Nearly all ADCS Design and Performance can be viewed in terms of RIGID BODY dynamics
Typically a Major spacecraft system
For large, light-weight structures with low fundamental frequencies the flexibility needs to be taken into account
ADCS requirements often drive overall S/C design
Components are cumbersome, massive and power-consuming
Field-of-View requirements and specific orientation are key
Design, analysis and testing are typically the most challenging of all subsystems with the exception of payload design
Need a true “systems orientation” to be successful at designing and implementing an ADCS
