What is the rotation rate of the satellite at the


An axially symmetric Earth satellite, whose ratio of principal moments of inertia is I/I' = 1.6, precesses about its axis once every 2 s. The spin rate in this state is 0.1 rad/s. Determine the overall rate of rotation and the angle from the axis of symmetry to the precession axis. Then determine the minimum angular impulse that a set of control rockets fastened to the satellite must exert in order to bring the precession axis into coincidence with the axis of symmetry. What is the rotation rate of the satellite at the conclusion of such a maneuver? (Assume that the rockets act impulsively.)
