965. Inertia Symmetrization of Large Spin-Stabilized Spacecraft. 1973.
Abstract
A need for inertial symmetrization of large spin stabilized spacecraft prompted the development of a universal horizontal axis device for concurrent measurement of center of gravity and transverse moment of inertia of large objects. The resulting equipment and methods have satisfactorily achieved inertia symmetrization to less than one slug foot squared on a large spacecraft with a minimum of handling risks.
