Attitude Control of a Double-Flywheel System

A mathematical model is developed to describe the dynamics of a mechanical system consisting of two counterrotating rigid flywheels (disks) whose axes are connected via a bidegree gimbal. The effect of a small deviation of the total moment of momentum from zero on the motion of the system is studied. Programs are created to control the bend angles of the flywheel axes by the half-angle law in motion along a geostationary orbit
