ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Attitude of a pitch momentum biased satellite in a low inclination orbit is controlled by a closed loop magnetic torquing control system. A magnetic dipole oriented perpendicular to the satellite's pitch axis in the roll/yaw plane and at a predetermined azimuth angle relative to the roll axis minimizes roll and yaw errors by interaction with the earth's magnetic field. Signals from an on-board roll attitude sensor are used by satellite mounted detection and driver circuits to control the compensating torques. Magnetic torquing is initiated whenever the roll error as measured by the roll attitude sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold. -1-
