Abstract

Dynamics of the torque-free angular motion of gyrostat-satellites and dual-spin spacecraft are examined. New analytical solutions for the angular moment components are obtained in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. Also analytical solutions for Euler's angles are found. These solutions can be used for a dual-spin spacecraft and gyrostat-satellites attitude dynamics analysis and synthesis.
