ABSTRACT:
A bar magnet is suspended by torsion wires and a ring inside a spherical frame rigidly attached to the space vehicle. The frame is filled with a damping fluid and damping domes are attached to each end of the bar magnet. The damping fluid and damping domes cooperate in damping or resisting angular motion between the bar magnet and the frame.
