When the number of CMGs is represented by n (n is an integer of 4 or more), (n−3) gimbal angles out of n gimbal angles corresponding to the n CMGs are set as free parameters, and an algebraic equation representing a relationship among three gimbal angles out of the n gimbal angles, the free parameters, and an angular momentum of all the CMGs is used to solve the algebraic equation while changing the free parameters within set ranges, to thereby obtain solutions of the gimbal angles of the plurality of CMGs required for achieving a given angular momentum.
