ABSTRACT:
An improvement in torque control systems for reaction wheel assemblies and the like used primarily for stabilizing space vehicles such as satellites including means for integrating the torque command signal and combining the integrated torque command signal with a feedback signal proportional to the angular speed of the rotor of the reaction wheel assembly thereby producing an error signal proportional to the difference between the integrated torque command signal and the angular speed signal. The error signal is coupled to the rotor spin motor which produces a resultant output torque that has been compensated for disturbance torques and other anomalies whereby the resultant torque applied to the rotor and consequently to the satellite is substantially equal to the commanded torque.
