How to turn a Satellite

Turning an object in space can be a bit tricky because there's nothing for it to push against. Thankfully the laws of physics do have a useful caveat that makes aiming a satellite possible without using up all of your fuel in the process.

As a fellow kerbal fan, I never knew how they truly worked in real life. This is exactly the type of informative video I was searching for, so thank you!

Magnetorquer for your next project & vid? You could use it to desaturate the reaction wheel, perhaps... Loved the little Easter egg at the end!

Haha, I was waiting for someone to ask for that! I'm actually thinking that a pair of control moment gyros might be an interesting project.

Brilliant video! Best demonstration of reaction wheels I’ve seen yet.

clear demonstration! easy to understand.your demo is really delicate and reveal the theory of how to controll a satilite.Really useful!

Loved the demos. Hope to see a lot more. Subscribed.

Man, I though you have 1 million subs already. You deserve at least 1 million subs

If i am trying to balance in say the x or the y axis would the motor also rotate in the same direction and change speed only, say for example if i want to to maintain 45 deg around the x axis and also should the other 2 motors be running ?

Great video. TY for all your effort. You may find the ESP32 a better option than Arduino.

Very good video, thanks, greetings from Peru, a query, what is the difference between a reaction wheel and a DC or brushless motor, and if you have a video of the assembly, as I am thinking of investigating in motor control focused on attitude control.

Hey, Im trying to replicate this for a home project, but I cant quite get the reaction wheel code to work. Would you be able to link the code you used in a github or something like that? GREAT VIDEO BTW!!

@josefonseca4007 2 жыл бұрын

how are you measuring the angular velocity of the reaction wheel?

@Thumblegudget 2 жыл бұрын

That’s an easy one to answer: I’m not. What I’m doing is controlling the rotation speed of the brushless motor using the speed controller. The controller cycles the coils in the motor at a certain, controlled, rate and that’s the speed of the wheel.
