A source of space station attitude disturbances is identified. The attitude disturbance is driven by internal space station motions and is a direct result of conservation of angular momentum. Three examples are used to illustrate the effect: a planar three link system, a rigid carrier body with two moveable masses, and a nonplanar five link system. Simulation results are given to show the magnitude of the attitude change in each example. Factors which accentuate or attenuate this disturbance effect are discussed.
