AUTONOMOUS SPIN AXIS ATTITUDE CONTROLLER FOR A SPINNING SPACECRAFT

A system located onboard a geosynchronous satellite (10) for detecting spin axis precession and developing thruster control signals for restoring the spin axis (12) to the desired attitude. Fuel economy is enhanced by timing the attitude trim maneuvers to coincide with certain station-keeping maneuv...
