Sumario:This manuscript contains a brief introduction of Control Moment Gyroscopes followed by the mathematical basis for potential singularities and an analysis of how skew angle variability may impact their occurrence. MATLAB is utilized as the primary modeling tool along with WolframAlpha for mathematical derivations of matrix determinants. The results of the modeling efforts show that a uniform skew angle of 90° allows a high maximum angular momentum. Additionally, we attempt to show that having two CMGs at a skew angle of zero could result in similar gains as a uniform 90° configuration and briefly introduce singularity penetration.
