"From the preface: " "The present text deals with attitude dynamics
and is devoted to satellites of finite size. It begins with a
discussion of the inertia moment tensor, Euler's law, Euler's
angles, Euler's equations, and Euler's frequencies. After that a
thorough treatment of the concept of centre of gravity versus
centre of mass is given. After libration has been discussed and
gyrodynamics proper has been dealt with, the attitude of the
moment-free satellite, including the gyrostat, is studied.
Particular attention is paid to the attitude behaviour of
torquefree single and dual spinners, and the new collinearity
theorems are introduced and explored to predict attitude stability
and attitude drift. The derivation of each significant formula is
followed by the discussion of a practical sample problem in order
to acquaint the student with typical situations, typical results,
and typical numerical values. There are numerous problems following
each chapter. The most important data and the answers to the
problems are compiled in appendices."
