Abstract

The equilibrium properties of the control moment gyroscopes of the Skylab are discussed. A rotation law is developed to produce gimbal rates which distribute the angular momentum contributions among the control moment gyroscopes to avoid gimbal stop encounters. The implications for gimbal angle management under various angular momentum situations are described. Conditions were obtained for the existence of equilibria and corresponding stability properties
