A method for adjusting a control moment gyroscope array comprising:
- receiving a stream;
- and
- directing the stream to adjust momentum in the control moment gyroscope array.
A control moment gyroscope array comprising:
- a plurality of control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) having saturated angular momentum;
- and
- a channel receiving airflow for adjusting the angular momentum residual.
A system comprising:
- a control moment gyroscope array;
- and
- at least one channel vectoring thrust to the control moment gyroscope array for adjusting angular momentum.
