Abstract :
This paper describes the Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscope (VSCMG) Workbench, a simulation software tool developed at Georgia Tech. This program will provide the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) with a tool for studying spacecraft control system design for vehicles equipped with VSCMG actuators for combined attitude control and energy storage
