Non-contacting electromagnetic de-spin system for Earth orbiting satellites

A study of electromagnetic satellite de-spin system for orbiting satellites was conducted. Exact closed form solutions for the interacting magnetic flux have been formulated both for the case of the current loop and the bar magnet. The magnet system has been extended to the case of a U shaped magnet. Magnet design details are outlined. Computer simulation of the interacting flux density profile has been attempted. Data for the de-spin times has been extended to higher rpms.
