Would be a worthwhile use of the space station to bolt two (or any multiple of 2) of these new improved reaction wheels to the outside, and have them apply opposite forces and stress them for a few years, starting as soon as they're ready. If they fail, could actually do PFA. Probably can't isolate them enough. Oh well.
We're headed for Chit-Chat on this one. |
