Table 1. MoI pros and cons considering various spacecraft configurations

Spacecraft configurations Description
Type#1 satellite configuration Considering the optimal placement of the CMG, the satellite shape has the advantage of being able to observe the observation target (+Y axis) quickly from the satellite's flight direction (+X axis) to the left and right.- RWA: A shape that makes it difficult to maneuver quickly at 10 deg/s on each axis- CMG: A shape capable of rapid maneuvering at 10 deg/s on each axis
Type#2 satellite configuration Considering the optimal placement of the CMG, the shape of the satellite makes it difficult quickly to observe the observation target (+Y axis) from the satellite's flight direction (+X axis) to the left and right.- RWA: A shape that makes it difficult to maneuver quickly at 10 deg/s on each axis- CMG: A shape that makes it difficult to maneuver quickly at 10 deg/s on each axis
Type#3 satellite configuration Considering the optimal placement of the CMG, the satellite shape has the advantage of being able to observe the observation target quickly (+Y axis) from the satellite's flight direction (+X axis) to the left and right.- RWA: A shape that makes it difficult to maneuver quickly at 10 deg/s on each axis- CMG: A shape capable of rapid maneuvering at 10 deg/s on each axis
MoI, moments of inertia; RWA, reaction wheel assembly; CMG, control moment gyro.
