Abstract
The aim of the thesis is to design a Control Moment Gyro (CMG) actuator which can be
used in small satellite applications. The hardware and software of the CMG has to be
designed according to specifications given. A satellite fitted with these CMGs has to be
able to do a 30 degree rotation within 10 seconds.
