Research efforts on various methods that employ moving external parts for spacecraft control are presented. Two basic types of appendages were considered: (1) a hinged type, and (2) a telescoping type. Procedures for evaluating each type of appendage are listed, and control laws and equations of motion for each type are also discussed. Illustrations of the different types of appendages are shown.
