CubeSat attitude determination [PDF]
When satellites are placed in orbit, often times a specific orientation is required to achieve mission purposes. Different factors (such as atmospheric drag, magnetic fields, solar winds) or tumbling upon deployment from the launch vehicle, may result in an undesirable satellite orientation.
