Shorter Path Design and Control for an Underactuated Satellite by Jung-Hyung Lee, Donghoon Kim, Jichul Kim, Hwa-Suk Oh

“…In the event of a control failure on an axis of a spacecraft, a target attitude can be achieved by several sequential rotations around the remaining control axes. For a spacecraft actuating with wheels, the form of each submaneuver should be a pure single axis rotation since the failed axis should not be perturbed. …”
