This paper describes a control system that uses small (0.1-N) hydrogen-fueled, high-expansion-ratio resistojets to control a Space Station's position and attitude. The number and size of the resistojets is calculated based on requirements for stationkeeping, compensation for steady-state gravity-gradient and aerodynamic torques, momentum loading due to mobile remote manipulator motion, Shuttle Orbiter docking, and translational evasive maneuvering. The all-resistojet control system performs continuous orbit maintenance while keeping the linear accelerations on the spacecraft lower than they would be without any control system operating.
