Experimental Verification of a Simple Method for Accurate Center of Gravity Determination of Small Satellite Platforms

We propose a simple and relatively inexpensive method for determining the center of gravity (CoG) of a small spacecraft. This method, which can be ascribed to the class of suspension techniques, is based on dual-axis inclinometer readings. By performing two consecutive suspensions from two different...
