(...) Quick, someone alert NASA! How, oh how, will they ever dock with the ISS when it is spinning away like mad?! I guess Dennis Tito's reported illness when boarding the station wasn't due to weightlesness after all... <snip> (...) Oh, so *that's* (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Perhaps Mister Tito ate some food that he should not have ate before entering space? The reason that the International Space Station, or Mir before that system, do not spin around as a person would expect is that the giant solar panels also (...)

(...) The "wings" on the ISS (or Mir) are not there to help stabilize the station, they are there to increase the surface area of the solar panels to provide electrical power to the station. There are other control systems which keep the station (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Thank you for correcting me, Duane, but I also have those control systems that will accomplish the same features on my space craft and, as stated many times before in other posts, the wings are another source of power for the space craft.

(...) Thank you for the computer site, Duane, but where is the information located about the control systems which counteract the spinning motions in outer space? Jesse Long (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

However, if memory serves me correctly, I think that the system you are refering to is a thruster system (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

Hi! Warning! Warning! Bibliographical references ahead! Warning! Danger, danger Will Robinson! (...) I've seen you mention that, but I'm wondering what the principle is you're employing for wing-generated power. Usually the solutions one sees for (...)
