Abstract: A method for controlling a geosynchronous spacecraft. A yaw axis and a roll axis of the spacecraft are oriented parallel to the earth equatorial plane. A coordinate frame of a payload is rotated about a minus roll axis of the spacecraft at an angle equivalent to an orbit inclination of the spacecraft, thereby maintaining elements of a payload pointing toward a desired region on the earth. A spacecraft attitude is corrected to maintain the payload elements pointing at the desired region on the earth.
