This paper shows that for any Lie group G whose Lie algebra L is the split real form of a complex simple Lie algebra, and for any arbitrary root α, there exists a Cartan decomposition of L, related to α, which characterizes some controllability properties by using the adjoint orbits of sl(2, ℝ). For a class of invariant control systems evolving on G, it is proved that the necessary full rank condition for controllability is also sufficient.
