Abstract
The paper presents the attitude reorientation taking the advantage of solar radiation pressure without use of any fuel aboard. The strategy is currently adopted to make Hayabusa spacecraft keep pointed toward the Sun for several months. The flight results are presented with the estimated solar array panel diffusion coefficient.
