ABSTRACT:
An attitude control system for a spacecraft which includes a bearing power and transfer assembly. The bearing power and transfer assembly is disposed between a first body and a second body. The first body and the second body are counter-rotated with respect to each other by the bearing and power transfer assembly such that the overall spacecraft momentum about the spin axis of the bearing and power transfer assembly is nominally zero.
