Control algorithm is studied for the attitude motion of a tethered Space Solar Power Satellite (SSPS). Controllability of the attitude motion of the system is essential for the SSPS to accomplish the mission to collect solar power and deliver to the surface of the Earth. The SSPS is a rectangular solar panel connected a bus unit by four tethers to stabilize the system passively by use of the gravity gradient effect. The attitude motion is proposed to be controlled by a mass moving its position with respect to the solar panel through change of the length of tethers. Numerical simulator is constructed in order to implement the control algorithms to verify the validity of performances of the present control methods.
