Hey everyone! Because Simply Space is based around animations and I'm a full time engineering student It's near impossible to maintain a regular upload schedule that RU-vid's algorithm favors. My RU-vid analytics show that the majority of views on newly released videos come from external sources outside of RU-vid, like Reddit, FaceBook, Twitter and Discord. In other words, this channel depends on viewers like yourself sharing new videos. RU-vid can't be counted on to spread the sort of content I upload, so if you enjoyed this video or any others on the channel please share them with others, that's what keeps this channel alive. Thank you!
I only just started uploading in December of last year so the RU-vid algorithm is yet to really start pushing my videos. Most of my views come from Reddit and so really require me to do all the pushing since RU-vid isn't the greatest at finding my audience.
Another great video! Great description of tidal forces and reaction wheels, just like in KSP. By the way there’re also reaction wheel gyroscopes in the ELC components on the p3 and s3 trusses.
Wicked video!!! Ive looked specifically for videos before about how exactly the ISS orientates itself in respect to the earth. PLEASE keep up the videos!!
You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. I found this really interesting too. Once I started learning about it I just knew it would make for a really interesting video.
Excellent video, very well made animations and a very interesting concept to cover! Angular momentum can be a hard concept to understand for spacecraft, and you did a great job explaining it!
Wow. I knew they made 'adjustments' to the ISS's position to avoid debris, change orbit and stuff... but I didn't know they ROTATED THE WHOLE FREAKING STATION as a matter of course for dockings! Now I know about angular momentum and I can steer a space station thanks @SimplySpace
What a great video! I am investigating CMGs for an Electronics project and it made me understand the whole thing about how this works. Thank you so much.
Great video! Clear and simple explanations, and detailed animation. If you ever do a follow up video, you may want to mention euler torques, those produced by the spinning CMGs as they fly through LVLH (even when they arent moving with respect to the body axes). It's another part of the TEA equation.
Amazing. I haven't even heard of a reaction wheel and never knew how the space station was kept at the same position. You explained it so well and kept it interesting.
Just subbed. This was great content. Great script. Great animation execution. Because of this the video is really good to understand. Good luck with the studies I hope we can see more from you over the summer break
@Tim Dodd, @Scott Manley, please give a shout out to this dude on your channels. He's doing a pretty amazing job with only 7k subscribers. I'm subbing now.
Spits are the best... I just got your game manual docking and am already almost through it... Can't wait for more missions love the low poly... I was just wondering could you please add to the docking ports some kind of alignment pin similiar to the ones used on the iss? I think on the iss they are 3d and would really help with alignment and knowing when you are lined right up...
Nice video! This is rather pedantic and probably something you know, but I noticed at 4:30 you mentioned "supply vehicles, like Soyuz". The Russian cargo spacecraft is actually Progress. The Soyuz Spacecraft (distinct from the Soyuz rocket) is the crew transport spacecraft.
I've been orbiting around space exploration for many years and yet you managed to provided some content I never heard of. Kudos! I wonder whether magnetorquers can be used to desaturate the gyroscopes without thrusters. Is the ISS too heavy for that?
hey, could you share the references from which you realized this fantastic video? I need to put this information in a work for university and it would be nice if I could find documents about the iss ADCS
The iss compensates the change in angular momentum of the gyroscopes with an opposing implied moment. That will give it the ability to rotate around its 3 axes. But how does it divert slightly from its path to dodge dust particles or space debris? Is that possible as well without the use of the trusters?
Does the China Space Station use its Hall Effect Thruster to correct its position without ordinary rocket fuel n functioning the same like this control wheels ??
They both control teams in Moscow and Houston work in close coordination. The Russian Segment and US segment manage different parts of the attitude control (RCS and CMGs) and both systems are linked to each other.
