There is limitation to confirming the reason for the data change of attitude sensor of spacecraft after the telemetry data were received, which brings the problem that the data can′t be analyzed in time. To solve this problem, an approach was proposed to study the range of solar disturbance for attitude sensor based on two angle parameters which reflect relative position between the sun and spacecraft. The range of solar disturbance for attitude sensor could gain in advance due to well-regulated change of the two parameters. Consequently, which could offer help for data change and failure analysis of attitude sensor. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the design of spacecraft attitude control system, for example, configuration and installation of attitude sensor. In addition, the faculty to restrain sunlight of attitude sensor is validated through the way. Simulation results prove the validity of the algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
