A zero-momentum spacecraft\s attitude is controlled by determining the torque required about a control axis to maintain the desired attitude, and, during each of recurrent control cycles, enabling a magnetic torquer if the torque demand exceeds a threshold. During each of the control cycles, thruster(s) are enabled to make up the difference between the torque demand and the estimated torque produced by the magnetic torquer. In determining the torque demand, the attitude rate signal is low-pass filtered to reduce noise, and the control loop bandwidth is maintained by totalling the estimated torque applied by the magnetic torquer and thrusters, integrating and high-pass filtering the estimated torque signals, and adding the filtered estimated torque with the filtered attitude rate signals to generate low-noise attitude rate signals. A three-axis system is described.
