Spherical air bearings are extensively used for testing satellites’ attitude control systems. They provide a zero-gravity environment by allowing frictionless motion in three degrees of freedom (DOF) to simulate pitch, roll, and yaw movements. This capability is vital for testing how satellites will behave in the weightlessness of space without expensive and complex simulations, such… The post Testing satellites with friction-free spherical air bearings appeared first on Design World
