| When in orbit, many satellites require precise orientation of certain surfaces in the correct direction - relative to the Earth, the Sun, stars or some other reference point. For example, the [[camera_subsys|camera]] should be oriented towards the [[sim_earth|ground]] and the [[sun_battery|solar panels]] should be oriented towards the Sun. There are several known approaches for solving this problem. For example, you can use jet (rocket) orientation engines, which causes the spacecraft to rotate in the desired direction relative to the center of mass. However, this method requires the consumption of a working fluid (fuel), requires a complex system of engine nozzles, is potentially unsafe, etc. On small spacecraft, [[wheel_subsys|flywheels]] are most often used to provide a given orientation of the satellite in space relative to the center of mass. | When in orbit, many satellites require precise orientation of certain surfaces in the correct direction - relative to the Earth, the Sun, stars or some other reference point.

| - | The flywheel is an electromechanical device that consists of an electric motor with a wheel mounted on its axis of rotation. The engine rotates accelerating and slowing down from time to time and according to the law of conservation of the kinetic moment, the spacecraft itself rotates faster or slower. Since in outer space conditions there are no external forces and the amount {{ ru::arch.php.gif?200|}}of motion can not change, turning the flywheel clockwise causes the rotation of the whole spacecraft counterclockwise. Thus, by controlling the engine and the rotation of the [[wheel_subsys|flywheel]] we can control the motion around the center of mass (in fact, the rotation) of the whole spacecraft. | + | The flywheel is an electromechanical device that consists of an electric motor with a wheel mounted on its axis of rotation.
