Abstract

The problem of detumbling or 'passivating' a satellite is considered by using two models. In the second model a candidate configuration of the retriever spacecraft is proposed and the motion of both bodies, connected at one joint, is determined for various detumbling schemes. For this second and more realistic model the authors describe how a graphic display may be used to illustrate the motion with simulated depth.
