A dual spin space station designA dual spin space station design is described. The space station has a cylindrical solar array that is spun to provide both gyroscopic stiffness to the space station and to stiffen the array structure. The platform is spun at the orbital angular rate. The space station is designed to have gravity gradient and aerodynamic restoring torques. An active control system is used to stabilize the station and store excess angular momentum until it can be removed from the station by magnetic torques.
