| Zusammenfassung: | The manifold individual attitude control requirements of each particular space vehicle are confronted with a great variety of actuation methods for attitude control which are available today, or which seem to be feasible in the near future. The paper describes the different actuation methods and presents system characteristics such as control mode data and control torques in view of their contribution to weight, power, volume, and lifetime considerations for the space vehicle. Thus, a comparison of several solutions is possible, which is important for the selection of either one specific method in a particular case of application or of two or more methods which supplement each other for a maximum overall system performance.
