Modeling and control of a gravity gradient stabilised satellite [PDF]

, 1999
This paper describes attitude control, i.e., 3-axes stabilisation and pointing, of a proposed Norwegian small gravity gradient stabilized satellite to be launched into low earth orbit. Generally, a gravity gradient stabilised system has limited stability

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

Vertical gravity gradient modeling and its influence on gravity datum transfer

Geodesy and Geodynamics
In the past, the free-air gradient −308.6 × 10−8 s−2 was used as the vertical gravity gradient of the measuring point in gravity data processing, which resulted in inaccurate instrument height corrections.
