Talk:Control moment gyroscope

message: I was under the impression that control moment gyroscopes could not be saturated like a reaction wheel.  The limitation on a CMG is the rate of torque change per second (based on the gimbal actuator).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.186.192.110 (talk) 15:56, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A cluster of CMGs certainly can become saturated. I’ve added a section on how this happens.--SteepLearningCurve (talk) 17:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Saturation? 

message: I'm describing the Advanced Vela satellite series for the TRW article.  Encyclopedia Astronautica describes it as having the first "dual-spin, zero-momentum attitude control system" which I translate (using some relabeled hyperlinks) as a dual-gimbal control moment gyroscope attitude control system with no net angular momentum. Can anyone check this translation?  Thanks, Overjive (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to  on Control moment gyroscope. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20070927230404/http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=406&gTable=japaperimport&gID=4489 to http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=406&gTable=japaperimport&gID=4489
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

replies: text: The bot-modified url did link to the archived title; but it's subscription access only and that doesn't seem to work with archived articles. I've replaced the whole link with http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/pdf/10.2514/2.4489 which does work. It's still subscription (though you may have automatic access if you have a university user id).--SteepLearningCurve (talk) 00:48, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I just added a CN tag to this statement:
The cite is old from 1990 - the first ISS module was launched in 1998, it was a theoretical study and proposal, and I can't find a citation to say that it is done that way. Instead they seem to use thrusters for attitude control when they need to desaturate the control moment gyros. Robert Walker (talk) 03:33, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
