Zusammenfassung	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.	An Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) is a complete inertial navigation subsystem that estimates and outputs the three-dimensional orientation (attitude) and heading of a vehicle or platform. AHRS combines measurements from accelerometers, gyroscopes, and often magnetometers through sensor fusion algorithms (typically Kalman filters or complementary filters) to provide a drift-free, fast attitude estimate. AHRS is standard in aviation, marine navigation, and modern autonomous systems.	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.
