Abstract

We study a physically simple two degree of freedom attitude control system that has a single control input. The physical assumptions are described. Equations of motion are derived and expressed in a nonlinear control form. We demonstrate that the system is inherently nonlinear. Conditions for small time local controllability of the state and of the configuration are presented.
