Stable steering of any vehicle requires that there be applied to it restoring or directing torque for turning to required direction, and damping torque by which all rotations and librations may be eliminated by immediate dissipation of energy; damping torque for steering vehicles in outer space is demonstrated by studies of magnetic rotational damping of Vanguard Satellites I and II; suggestions made.
