Attitude control of a satellite is very important to ensure proper for mission performance. Satellites launched in the past had simple missions. However, recently, with the advancement of technology, the tasks to be performed have become more complex. One example relies on a new technology that allows satellites quickly alter their attitude while orbiting in space. Currently, one of the most widely used technologies for satellite attitude control is the reaction wheel. However, the amount of torque generated by reaction wheels is too low to facilitate quick maneuvers by the satellite. One way to overcome this is to implement posture control logic using a control moment gyroscope (CMG). Various types of CMGs have been applied to space systems, and CMGs are currently mounted on large-scale satellites. However, although technological advancements have continued, the market for CMGs applicable to, small satellites remains in its early stages. An ultra-small CMG was developed for use with small satellites weighing less than 200 kg. The ultra-small CMG measured its target performance outcomes using a precision torque-measuring device. The target performance of the CMG, at 800 mNm, was set through an analysis. The final torque of the CMG produced through the design after the analysis was 821mNm, meaning that a target tolerance level of 10% was achieved.

New technological advancements that are available in price and usability for K-12 classrooms result in new content areas to be explored and advancement of previous content area struggles. Visualizations of two-dimensional (2D) representations of three-dimensional (3D) figures and the actual 3D figure is a struggle not only limited to mathematics teaching and learning. However, if this struggle can be rectified and potentially improved through mathematics teaching and learning, the broader impacts of this extends beyond classroom mathematics. New 3D modeling software and 3D printers allow users to easily create and share models or download 3D models from online resources and print them to manipulate in their hand. There is plenty of literature now on classroom use of 3D modeling and printing. This article serves to build onto Ball and Stacey's (2005) suggestions for judicious use of calculators and computer software to address the judicious use of 3D modeling and printing technology for teaching mathematics for student learning. We discuss the following teaching strategies: promote careful decision making about 3D modeling and/or printing use, integrate 3D modeling and or printing into the curriculum, tactically restrict use of 3D modeling and or printing, and promote habits of spatial visualization.
