These proceedings contain copies of all of the papers presented at the Symposium on Attitude Stabilization and Control of Dual-Spin Spacecraft held on 1-2 August 1967. A dual-spin spacecraft is one in which relative rotation between two portions of the vehicle is employed to achieve a desired effect, such as providing attitude stabilization or sensor scanning by means of a spinning part. The concept has been applied to communication and meteorological satellites and has great potential for a wide variety of future applications. Session I, Stability Theory and Results, is devoted to the general theory and practical results. Session II, Theory and Design of Nutation Dampers, contains studies on the use of dissipative mechanisms to achieve stability and control of nutational motion in a dual-spin spacecraft. Session III, Attitude Control Systems considers methods of orienting a set of three orthogonal axes fixed in the spacecraft to some given directions in space. Session IV, Spacecraft Configurations, represents a synthesis of the design principles discussed in the earlier sessions as they can be applied to specific satellite missions. (Author)
