A Permanent Magnetic Dipole Reaction Sphere Actuator for Spacecraft Attitude Control
This thesis presents decoupled, closed-loop, suspension and rotation of a spherical dipole permanent magnet. The spherical magnet is used as the rotor in a bench-level prototype reaction sphere actuator for spacecraft attitude (orientation) control. Reaction spheres rotate spacecraft either with an...
