This video explores Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) for satellite attitude control, comparing reaction wheels with single-gimbal CMGs (SGCMGs) and highlighting the advantages of Tensor Tech's spherical-motor variable-speed CMG (VSCMG). We cover key design trade-offs, including power use and unit volume, examine four-unit cluster configurations, and show how the angular-momentum envelope expands spacecraft agility within tight mass and volume budgets.
