Control Moment Gyros - in 60 seconds

I created this video for the Veritasium Science Communication contest. ( #VeritasiumContest) if you enjoyed the video do please give it a like as it helps me qualify for the competition. You can check out how the competition came about on the Veritasium channel: This video was a really fun challenge. 60 seconds is a really short time and I had to choose my words really carefully. Needless to say that here’s a lot about CMGs that I had to leave out of this video, so I expect that sometime soon I will release a longer video in which I can go into a bit more detail about the subject, and my demo cubesat’s new working parts. (For the contest I will add a temporary contact email here by 31st Aug ’21)
