Talk:Gravity-gradient stabilization

For future use
Acto gunter's site, the following satellites were launched for GG research:

It's a little unclear how the ATS fit into this. Mangoe 02:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Tested in Project Gemini
It should be mentioned that at least one Project Gemini flight experimented with gravity-gradient stabilization, by tethering the Gemini vehicle to the Agena Target Vehicle. (Unfortunately, still wasn't too successful.) JustinTime55 (talk) 22:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Used by Transit 5A-3
The article on Transit says that Transit 5A-3 used gravity-gradient stabilization in 1963, predating everything in this articl. The former includes a reference to a Johns Hopkins article (https://www.jhuapl.edu/Content/techdigest/pdf/V19-N01/19-01-Danchik.pdf) which says that gravity-gradient stabilization was part of the Transit program from 1960 on.
