Requirements of the flywheel electronic system are to accelerate the momentum wheel to a fixed maximum speed when solar energy is available and to maintain a constant voltage on the spacecraft bus under varying loads when solar energy is not available. Requirements, energy flow control, types of motors considered, type of electronic control, and efficiency considerations, are outlined.
