Abstract

Elimination of unwanted oscillations on the satellite body that may be caused by the vibrating rotor control moment gyroscopes is addressed. It is mathematically shown that proper rotor inertia selection removes the unwanted oscillations on the output axis of the control moment gyroscope. Simulation results carried out using the ADAMS mechanical modeling and simulation software are given and discussed.
