The report discusses momentum management for the CDG Planar Space Platform. The external torques on the Space Station are assumed to be gravity gradient and aerodynamic with both having bias and cyclic terms. The integrals of the cyclic torques are the cyclic momenti which will be stored in the momentum storage actuator. Various techniques to counteract the bias torques and center the cyclic momentum were investigated including gravity gradient desaturation by adjusting vehicle attitude, aerodynamic desaturation using solar panels and radiators and the deployment of flat plates at the end of long booms generating aerodynamic torques.
