Momentum-Control System Array Architectures

This chapter provides the analysis tools and fundamental theory for the design of an array architecture consisting of momentum devices. First, the properties of the actuator alignments and their effect on shaping the performance envelope of the momentum-control system are discussed. A survey of common array types for RWA, CMG, and mixed arrays follows. A discussion of performance metrics and methods used to optimize the array architecture concludes the chapter.
