Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Spin stabilization may be achieved with cylindrical satellites
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(1) The spin stabilisation: For cylindrical satellites A typical spin stabilised satellite rotates between 30 and 120 rpm creating an inertial stiffness, which maintains the satellite spin axis perpendicular to the equatorial plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Aryabhata satellite used spin-stabilization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Spin: Stabilization can be accomplished by setting the vehicle spinning, like the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft in the outer solar system, Lunar Prospector, and the Galileo Jupiter orbiter spacecraft, and its atmospheric probe. The gyroscopic action of the rotating spacecraft mass is the stabilizing mechanism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spin Stabilization It is the most commonly used method and employed method where the entire spacecraft is rotated at 30 to 100 rotations per minutes. This spin provides a powerful gyroscopic action to maintain the spin axis in the correct direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The dynamic attributes of spinning bodies are used also to stabilize satellites’ attitude within the final mission orbit.

Detailed explanation-6: -noun. a technique by which a bullet, rocket, etc, is made to spin around its longitudinal axis to assist it in maintaining a steady flight path.
