contents This paper presents sufficient conditions for small-time local controllability of a control-affine system that describes the rotational motion of a satellite in a circular orbit. The satellite is modeled as a rigid body subject to electromagnetic actuation. We focus on the underactuated scenario where the control torque is generated solely by magnetorquers. The main contributions of this work include proving small-time local controllability around the relative equilibrium under some natural assumptions on the mass distribution of the rigid body. This result is based on the Lie algebra rank condition and Sussmann's controllability condition. Furthermore, it is shown that the linearized system is not controllable in a neighborhood of the considered equilibrium.
