-Satellite stabilization mode means maintaining a zero angular velocity. This mode is necessary, for example, to obtain clear images or transfer them to a ground receiving point, when the data transmission time is long and the satellite antenna is not allowed to deviate from the ground receiving point. The theory ​also described in this lesson is suitable for maintaining any desired angular velocity, and not just zero, for tasks such as tracking a moving object.+Satellite stabilization mode means maintaining a zero angular velocity.

-You can change the satellite’s angular velocity using flywheels, jet engines, electromagnetic coils, and gyrodyne engines. In this examplewe consider the control ​of the control moment using the flywheel. The action of this device is based on the law of conservation of angular momentum. For example, when the flywheel engine spins in one direction, the spacecraft (SC), respectively,​ begins to rotate in the other direction under the action of the same moment ​of unwinding, but directed in the opposite ​direction ​in accordance with the  Newton'​s ​third law. If, under the influence of external factors, the spacecraft ​began to turn in a certain direction, it is enough to increase the speed of rotation ​of the flywheel in the same direction ​and the unwanted rotation of the spacecraft will stop, instead of the satellite, the rotational moment ​will "​take"​ the flywheelReceive ​information about the angular velocity of the satellite will be using an angular velocity sensor. In this example, we will look at how to calculate control commands for the flywheel ​for the satellite to stabilize or maintain the required angular velocity ​from the indications of the angular velocity sensor and data on the speed of the flywheel.+You can change the satellite’s angular velocity using flywheels, jet engines, electromagnetic coils, and gyrodyne engines. In this example we consider the control ​over the control moment using the flywheel. The action of this device is based on the Law of conservation of angular momentum. For example, when the flywheel engine spins in one direction, the spacecraft (SC), respectively,​ begins to rotate in the other direction. It happens ​under the action of the same unwinding ​moment, but directed in the opposite ​side in accordance with the Newton'​s ​Third Law.
