Abstract: This paper gives a way to select the optimum attitude of dualspin communication satellite in any operation orbit.Based on the measuredorbit elements and attitude all the parameters needed to flight test could becomputed sapidly by using a microcomputer.According to the additionalrestriction on the selection of the attitude a optimum attitude could becomputed to ensure longer communication duration.

Key words: Subject Term Communication satellite, Flight test, Satellite attitude, Calculating method.
