• Spin stabilized magnetic levitation — is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation originally discovered through invention by Vermont inventor Roy M. Harrigan in the late 1970s. He received a United States patent for his levitation device based upon this phenomenon on May 3, 1983.US… …   Wikipedia

• Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation — A brief demonstration and small explanation about the Levitron levitating top device which demonstrates spin stabilized magnetic levitation. Spin stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation where a magnet is levitated… …   Wikipedia

• Spin-stabilized satellite — A spin stabilized satellite is a satellite which has the motion of one axis held (relatively) fixed by spinning the satellite around that axis, using the gyroscopic effect.The attitude of a satellite or any rigid body is its orientation in space …   Wikipedia

• Spin (flight) — In aviation, a spin is an aggravated stall resulting in rotation about the center of gravity wherein the aircraft follows a downward corkscrew path. Spins can be entered unintentionally or intentionally, from any flight attitude and from… …   Wikipedia

• 3-axis stabilized spacecraft — 3 axis stabilisation is a design feature of most modern spacecraft whereby the spacecraft utilizes sensor readings to determine how actuators on the spacecraft can be used to keep it in a desired attitude, or orientation in space. Description A… …   Wikipedia

• Yo-yo de-spin — A yo yo de spin mechanism is a device used to reduce the spin of satellite, typically right after launch. It is basically two lengths of cable with weights on the ends. The cables are wrapped around the final stage and/or satellite, in the manner …   Wikipedia

• incipient spin — A spin that is not yet stabilized. This condition can last from two to six turns during which the rate of rotation and the rate of descent continuously change. The recovery from an incipient spin is easier than from a stabilized spin …   Aviation dictionary

• flat spin — A spin in which the aircraft longitudinal axis remains at less than 45° below the horizontal. A flat spin is a stabilized spin. The farther back the center of gravity and the more the masses that are distributed along the length of the fuselage,… …   Aviation dictionary

• steady/stabilized spin — A stage of spinning in which an aircraft descends at a steady rate and also rotates at a constant rate. This state is reached after the aircraft has carried out two to six turns in a normal spin. Recovery from a steady spin is much more difficult …   Aviation dictionary
