Attitude Stabilization of Spacecraft in Very Low Earth Orbit by Center-Of-Mass Shifting
At very low orbital altitudes (≲450 km) the aerodynamic forces can become major attitude disturbances. Certain missions that would benefit from a very low operational altitude require stable attitudes. The use of internal shifting masses, actively shifting the location of the spacecraft center-of-ma...
