Rotating Spacecrafts can provide artificial gravity for long-term space missions, but the design of a Guidance and Control scheme for these vehicles is nuanced. For a three-segment vehicle with the propulsion element located at the center of mass, the vehicle must stabilize itself about this point even in the event of various off-nominal circumstances. Thus, a robust and passive spin stabilization system is needed. In this paper, various methods for stabilizing the system to allow for the exchange of mass and air between elements are explored and simulated.
