Abstract
This work examines the simultaneous use of single-gimbal Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscopes (VSCMGs) as spacecraft attitude control actuators and energy storage devices. The resulting theory, initially developed in Fausz and Richie, (2000), is refined and simplified. The validity of the theory is demonstrated via numerical simulation
