Description
With space-industry professionals and university students, this book offers a practical technical reference for seeking to understand the state of the art in spacecraft momentum control systems. The focus is control moment gyroscope (CMG) technology, but general principles of momentum control—for example, through reaction wheels, magnetic torque actuation, and other means—are presented. These key topics are treated in several contexts: systems engineering and spacecraft architecture, attitude co
