Major Axis Rule for Spin Stabilization • Stability of rotation about principal axes • Consider the the perturbed the steady motion given • by the Euler’s moment equation for torque-free motion: Differentating w.r.t. time and eliminating
Differentating w.r.t. time and eliminating Both of these equations represent simple harmonic oscillator with general solution: Where If is imaginary jwill diverge andis unstable. must be real for stability. This is satisfied when (Ix-Iy)(Ix-Iz) > 0 . Motion is stable when Ix>Iy e Ix>Iz or when Ix<Iy e Ix<Iz Conclusion: motion is stable about major or minor axis but motion about intermediate axis is unstable.
Internal Energy Dissipation Effects • All real spacecraft have, at least, some nonrigid properties. • These include: elastic structural deflection and sloshing. • Some lessons learned from the past: • Explorer I (1958)
Energy dissipation Since for torque-free motion the angular momentum must be conserved motion about the major axis corresponds to the minimum energy state. Conclusion: a semirigid body is stable only when spinning about the major axis, bringing about the major axis rule for spin stabilization.
