Abstract
A method and apparatus for maneuvering a satellite in orbit to alternately optimize the collection of solar energy and to take sensor data of terrestrial objects is disclosed The longitudinal axis of a large payload package is oriented perpendicular to the orbital plane to minimize the disturbance torque due to gravity gradient, and to allow simple rotation about the axis for attitude change between optimal Sun and optimal ground coverage.
