A Theoretical Study of the Angular Motions of Spinning Bodies in SpaceEuler's dynamic equations were linearized and solved analytically. Analytical expressions which relate angular motions to spin-rate and inertia distributions were obtained and found to be in good agreement with machine solutions of the nonlinear equations for the case of a rectangular-pulse pitching-moment disturbance. Consideration was given to the effects produced by having artificial damping in the system.
