Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

A singularity-robust control moment gyro (CMG) steering logic, developed previously, is a
simple yet effective way of passing through, and also escaping from, any internal …

The singularity problem inherent in redundant single-gimbal control moment gyro (CMG)
systems is examined. It is intended to provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of …

A SINGLE-GIMBAL control moment gyro (CMG) system is regarded as an effective torque
generator for attitude control both for large space stations and small agile satellites because …

Control laws for an integrated power/attitude control system (IPACS) for a satellite using
variable-speed singlegimbal control moment gyroscopes (VSCMGs) are introduced …

This study surveys the developments in satellite attitude determination and control system,
especially for microsats. This survey is not intended to be complete but is limited to the most …

In this paper a new Attitude Control System is proposed, based on Control Moment
Gyroscopes (CMG). These actuators can provide unique torque, angular momentum and …

CONTROL moment gyroscopes (CMGs) are used in spacecraft attitude control when
propellant is not abundant and rapid retargeting and precision pointing are desired (eg …

A single double-gimbal variable-speed control moment gyroscope is considered as a
method for three-dimensional spacecraft attitude control. First, the system's equations of …

Complete attitude control of a spacecraft is not possible with only one single-gimbal variable-
speed control moment gyro due to the conservation of angular momentum. However, partial …
