NASA’s Glenn Research Center developed a new flywheel-based mechanical battery system that redefined energy storage and spacecraft orientation. This innovative approach demonstrated the potential of ...
The magnetically suspended control and sense gyroscope (MSCSG) integrates spacecraft attitude measurement and control function; this paper proposes a double spherical rotor (DSR) for MSCSG. The DSR ...
An experiment consisting of three flywheels, spinning between 16,000 and 40,000 rpm, is believed to demonstrate the innovative technology of combined attitude control and energy storage on a satellite ...
