Abstract A new maximum null motion algorithm is presented for single gimbal control moment gyroscopes. This algorithm limits the amount of null motion to the gimbal rate limit and switches direction of the null motion if the limit is reached. Numerical simulations show that using the complete equations of motion, gimbal dynamics, gimbal rate limit, and including system and sensor noise, the maximum null motion algorithm is better in generating a constant torque command than the traditional nondirectional null motion algorithm. This is especially relevant for spacecraft during station keeping tasks under a constant disturbance torque.
