Question

A satellite has a central bus with a moment of inertia of 50 kg-m^2 about its solar array rotation axis. In addition, it has two solar arrays which each has an MOI of 25 kg-m^2 about that axis. If a worst-case, 1-second thruster burn causes an impulse which increases the rotation rate of the full system about this axis by 1 degree/sec, what minimum holding torque would you recommend for each solar array drive?

Answer 1

I will recommend a minimum holding torque of 1.74N.m
