    Abstract: The attitude of a spacecraft is controlled during an eclipse without the dependence on auxiliary power by configuring the spacecraft so that it will receive solar power after solar eclipse is passed. The spacecraft is then oriented with respect to a sun line. The spacecraft is then spun so that it maintains a desired angular momentum throughout the eclipse and provides passive stabilization of the attitude. After the eclipse has passed, the spacecraft power is restored and the spacecraft attitude is detected. All spacecraft units are then powered up and thereafter, normal on-station attitude is re-established and normal spacecraft operations are established.

    Abstract: A Stationkeeping Mode for a spacecraft having a gimballed momentum wheel for attitude control in which the stationkeeping is divided into short duration open-loop stationkeeping maneuvers to correct orbital errors, and interlaced with closed-loop momentum management operations to manage momentum stored in the momentum wheel. The sequence of open-loop pulses are spaced to deadbeat a given dominant flexible motion of the spacecraft. Between and during the thruster pulses, the gimbaled momentum wheel is maintained in the closed-loop feedback control using gyro sensor or other inertial reference measurements. Limitations on the range of the momentum storage device and its torque capability are minimized by combining the maneuver thruster pulses with pulses from other thrusters, or by reducing the fire time of one of the maneuver thrusters, to minimize momentum buildup. Thus, thrusters are used for changing orbital velocity and managing momentum through open-loop pulsing with closed-loop momentum refinement, and the momentum storage device controls the attitude with closed-loop attitude feedback.

    Abstract: A bow sight mount which interchangeably mounts a telescopic or an open sight. The mounting bracket includes four primary components. A bow mounting bracket is attached to the bow. A sliding bracket engages the mounting bracket and is laterally adjustable with respect thereto. An intermediate bracket is rotatably attached to the sliding bracket and a sight mounting plate is rotatably attached to the intermediate bracket. This configuration permits the sight mounting plate to be rotated about two perpendicular axes and laterally and vertically. A mount for a telescopic sight or an open sight is attached to the sight mounting plate preferably by threaded fasteners. This system provides the archer with the capability to rapidly interchange sights and provides a high degree of adjustability for any type of sight.
