A device for controlling the angular velocity of an out-of-service spacecraft is disclosed, in which the device makes it possible to facilitate the operations of active removal of the spacecraft as space debris. The device includes a stator and a rotor able to move on a rotation axis with respect to the stator, the stator is configured to be driven by the spacecraft to be stabilized, the rotor is configured to orient itself along the terrestrial magnetic field. The stator includes an electrically conductive non-ferromagnetic body while the rotor includes a magnetized system configured to induce, in the stator, eddy currents for braking a relative movement of the rotor with respect to the stator.
