self-balancing frame using reaction wheel "Forces always occur in pairs. If a body A exerts a force onexerts a force on another body B (actio), an equal but opposite force from body B acts on body A (reactio).opposite force from body B acts on body A (reactio)." (Isaac Newton 1687) All the more reason why I have always wondered howsatellites in space manage to position themselves without engines in air- and gravity-free space.space without thrusters. Many satellites only have small engines to keepto keep themselves in orbit. However, these are too inaccurate for positioningthese are too imprecise.This is precisely the purpose of satellite positioning usingflywheels, also known as reaction wheels. This is used for fine alignment of thesatellite around its center of gravity axis. The arrangement of severalflywheels enables the spacecraft to be positioned around all axes.By combining several systems, this type of stabilization has become established over the years.stabilization over the y
