Question

A 2500-kg satellite is 2.4 m high and has octagonal bases of sides 1.2 m. The coordinate axes shown are the principal centroidal axes of inertia of the satellite, and its radii of gyration are kx = kz= 0.90 m and ky = 0.98 m. The satellite is equipped with a main 500-N thruster E and four 20-N thrusters A, B, C, and D, that can expel fuel in the positive y direction. The satellite is spinning at the rate of 36 rev/h about its axis of symmetry Gy, which maintains a fixed direction in space, when thrusters A and B are activated for 2 s. Determine (a) the precession axis of the satellite, (b) its rate of precession, (c) its rate of spin.
