Recently, many researchers are examining the possibility of the small satellites or micro satellites, because small satellites are easier and faster to develop and thereby, provide increased launch opportunities. In this paper designing and experimental testing of three axis agility satellite simulator - equipped with pyramid configuration of SGCMG- with implementation of PID and feedback quaternion strategies are presented. These control strategies in the two different control gains and two different type of maneuvering about single and three axis are presented. First actuators and simulator of satellite have introduced and control strategies are simulated in Matlab/Simulink software. Then control strategies have implemented in the simulator’s computer and attitude control testing is executed. Finally the experimental data are compared with simulation results. In order to avoiding of singularity condition, SR method is used in steering law of single control moment gyros system. Results shown that agility maneuver of simulator realized and numerical results are almost according to experimental tests.
