Abstract :
An experimental testbed for investigating control algorithms for reducing or eliminating the effects of mass imbalance in rotating bodies has been designed and constructed. This control moment gyro/gyropendulum testbed allows researchers to experimentally demonstrate control algorithms for reorientation, stabilization and vibration suppression
