Single Gimbal Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) are thought to be efficient actuators for the attitude control of the new generation of small and agile satellites. CMGs belong to a class of actuators known as momentum exchange devices. This thesis presents a detailed formulation of three-axis attitude dynamics and control of a satellite equipped with a cluster of n momentum exchange devices (which include CMGs and reaction wheels).
