THE EFFECT OF DYNAMIC UNBALANCE ON THE ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENT OF THE SUN'S INCIDENCE ON THE X3 SATELLITE.

Abstract

An analysis is made of the error in measurement of the angle of incidence of the sun on the Black Arrow X3 satellite due to displacement of the spin axis caused by dynamic unbalance. (Author)
