Abstract

A new method is proposed for control of the orientation of a rigid body by means of several auxiliary masses moving relative to the body. The prescribed reorientation is achieved by means of three plane rotations with only one mass moving in each of them. The algorithm permits considerable freedom in the placement of movable masses inside the body.
