Shrnutí	SGP4 (Simplified General Perturbations 4) is a rapid orbital propagation method that predicts satellite position and velocity from Two-Line Element (TLE) sets published by NORAD. Developed in the 1970s, SGP4 accounts for atmospheric drag, gravitational perturbations, and solar radiation pressure using simplified analytical models. SGP4 is the de facto standard for space surveillance, conjunction assessment, and satellite tracking.	The B-Dot controller (magnetic B-dot control law) is a simple, robust spacecraft attitude control method that uses the rate of change of Earth's magnetic field measured onboard to generate a magnetic dipole moment. Developed in the 1980s, the B-Dot law damps spacecraft angular momentum without requiring a complex attitude estimate or external reference, making it ideal for initial momentum dumping after launch or in contingency scenarios. B-Dot is passive, simple to implement, and effective.	Quaternion attitude representation is a mathematical framework for describing three-dimensional rotations using four-dimensional vectors (quaternions). Superior to Euler angles due to the absence of singularities (gimbal lock), quaternions are the standard representation in modern attitude estimation, spacecraft control, and 3D computer graphics. Quaternion kinematics elegantly expresses how attitude evolves under angular velocity measurements from gyroscopes.
