Very High Resolution Passive Scan Agile Earth Observation Satellites are able to maneuver around all their three body axes and scan the target area in different directions, simultaneously. The most stringent mid-level requirements which dominate their attitude determination and control subsystem performance are applied in detumbling and fine pointing modes. These performance requirements are maneuverability, agility, accuracy and stability. In this research, first, we derive the analytical and statistical relationships between quantitative criteria of mid-level requirements and spatial resolution as a high-level mission requirement, next the design drivers of reaction wheels are extracted consequently. Then the size, mass and consuming power of an operational satellite and the reaction wheels torque authority and momentum capacity is guesstimated based on its imaging payload size and specifications.

In order to be sure from true function of satellite’s Attitude determination and Control Subsystem (ADCS) and its parts, some tests are needed to be done in part or subsystem level. One of the useful tools for doing these tests is Helmholtz Coil. This tool is usable in functional tests and calibration of satellite’s magnetic sensors and actuators, in Hardware In the Loop (HIL) tests of ADCS subsystem, and also in related tests to residual magnetic of satellite’s part. In this paper, we study mathematical equations of Helmholtz coil, propose design procedure and requirements, also introduce set of functional and identification tests for evaluating the constructed Helmholtz Coil. By obtaining results and finding the mathematical model of Helmholtz Coil, preparations for designing closed loop control system to eliminate environmental magnetic disturbances and create desired magnetic field by Helmholtz coil are provided.
