With space-industry professionals and university students, this book offers a practical technical reference for seeking to understand the state of the art in spacecraft momentum control systems. The focus is control moment gyroscope (CMG) technology, but general principles of momentum control—for example, through reaction wheels, magnetic torque actuation, and other means—are presented. These key topics are treated in several contexts: systems engineering and spacecraft architecture, attitude control and dynamics, and mission operations. The subject matter is developed with theoretical rigor and in terms of practical implementation in flight hardware software.
This book is the first to address CMG technology in depth, let alone from a practitioner’s perspective. It is also timely, given the rise of commercial Earth imaging, the imminent need for high-torque manipulation of satellites for servicing and assembly, the advances in privately built spacecraft (including small satellites), and the growing popularity of the subject matter in academia over the past two decades. The current edition includes exercises suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate-level courses in spacecraft attitude dynamics and control, spacecraft design, and space systems engineering.
This second edition provides more applications, attitude control, momentum and nutation dumping, isolation, system identification, systems engineering, bearings, and structures as well as more in depth discussions of equations of motion, as well as the numerics and complexity associated with generalized inverses that are used for steering algorithms.
Frederick A. Leve Program Officer at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Florida in 2010. While at the University of Florida, he received the IAF Silver Hermann Oberth Medal and the AIAA Abe Zarem Award for Astronautics. Currently, he runs a basic research program in dynamical systems and control theory and leads the Autonomy Working Group. He has published many papers in the area of attitude dynamics and control, specifically with respect to momentum control systems and also performs research in under-actuated control, fault tolerant control, control allocation, analytical mechanics, and system identification. Dr. Leve is a recipient of the 2014 AFRL Early Career Award.
Brian J. Hamilton Former Engineering Fellow at Honeywell Aerospace, received a BSEE with Honors from the University of Illinois, 1976. Mr. Hamilton has 42 years of experience at Honeywell (formerly, Sperry) and has participated in the development of CMG technology since its infancy. In later years, his research focus has been on CMG array control and steering, and the general application of momentum systems to agile spacecraft attitude control. Other areas of specialty include nonlinear modeling, controls design, system optimization and active magnetic suspension. Mr. Hamilton holds 12 patents.
Mason A. Peck Professor of Astronautics at Cornell University, received his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2001. He has worked as an aerospace engineer since 1994 and has been on the faculty at Cornell since 2004. From late 2011 through early 2014, he was NASA's Chief Technologist. In that role, he served as the agency's chief strategist for technology investment and prioritization and advocate for innovation in aeronautics and space technology. His research lab focuses on fundamental research in space technology that can be advanced through flight experiments. Examples include Violet, a nanosatellite for demonstrating CMG steering laws, and KickSat, the world's first crowdfunded spacecraft. Dr. Peck holds 19 patents in the USA and the E.U. and has over 100 academic publications. He received the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2014.

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
