Abstract
CONTROLLING THE ATTITUDE of a satellite vehicle should be a simple job. The body behaves as if it were suspended on a frictionless pivot. Control torques can be small. There usually is no need for extreme precision in measurement. And adequate response times are ridiculously low by conventional servo standards.
