The large angle attitude maneuvers control by using reaction wheels for gravity gradient stabilized small satellites is stutied .By introducting quaternion to describe the satellite attitude,a sliding mode is selected and the control law is developed.The histories of the satellite attitude and the angular rates of the reaction wheels during the process of the large angle attitude maneuver are obtained.Both theoretical analysis and simulation show that the variable structure control law is asymptotically stable and robust.
