Equilibria of a Gyrostat with a Discrete Damper
We investigate the relative equilibria of a gyrostat with a spring-mass-dashpot damper to gain new insights into the dynamics of spin-stabilized satellites. The equations of motion are developed using a Newton-Euler approach, resulting in equations in terms of system momenta and damper variables. …

Constant Orbital Momentum Equilibrium Trajectories of a Gyrostat-Satellite
… that upon completing the transition maneuver the gyrostat-satellite will satisfy all the requirements for a relative equilibrium. The system angular momentum is a function of the attitude trajectory taken during the transition maneuver. A new concept, the constant orbital momentum equilibrium …

Internal Torques and Forces in Gyrostats with Magnetically Suspended Rotors
… applications in spacecraft design. Based on the gyrostat model, we develop equations that describe the internal torques and forces that occur between the body and one of the attached wheels. We evaluate the transverse torques for the torque--free gyrostat and a gyrostat undergoing attitude …

Design, analysis, and testing of a precision guidance, navigation, and control system for a dual-spinning Cubesat
… approaches: a dual spinner and a three-axis gyrostat. Unlike typical dual spinners, the purpose of MicroMAS 's 2U bus and spinner assembly is to actuate a iu payload, not to add gyroscopic stiffness. An orthogonal triple reaction wheel assembly from Maryland Aerospace, Inc., will both counter …
