Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention include assemblies and methods for minimizing the amplitude of attitude jitter. In one embodiment, a flywheel assembly for reducing the amplitude of attitude jitter is provided. The flywheel assembly includes a first flywheel, a second flywheel, and a third flywheel. The first flywheel, second flywheel, and third flywheel are axially aligned and in operable engagement with one another. Each flywheel is configured to be independently controlled in order to manipulate the phase difference therebetween.
