This book provides a range of perspectives on spacecraft momentum actuators–spinning rotors and gimbaled devices–for use in attitude control of spacecraft. It combines diverse perspectives from government space systems (satellites for the Air Force, Navy, and NASA), the commercial space industry, and academia. The scope extends from electromechanical details of individual actuators to space-system architecture issues of interest in spacecraft concept development. The book treats foundational rigid- and flexible-body dynamics, the subtle mathematics of steering multiple devices within an array, and the applications of these technologies. The history of these devices is summarized. Also discussed are potential future applications: asteroid mining, in-orbit servicing and repair of satellites, and new human-space missions.
