Hi, I'm working on the attitude control system of a sun-pointing satellite. To linearize the dynamic equation of the satellite with small angle approximation I need of a reference frame with an axis parallel to the sun vector.
Do you have a tip or an article on the model of a sun-pointing satellite?

Thank you for help!
