Cable-Driven Spacecraft Motion Simulator

The video explains how simulators are used to model spacecraft maneuvers in three dimensions. It demonstrates controlling a model satellite in two dimensions using cables, introducing the concept of degrees of freedom. The video discusses the challenges of controlling motion and rotation with limited inputs and extends these concepts to three-dimensional space. It suggests a science project involving building a frame to control a model spacecraft using cables, highlighting the importance of cable configuration for effective control.

How can one achieve better control over the rotation of the satellite?

What challenges arise when adding more cables to control a spacecraft?

What materials are suggested for building a frame for the satellite model?
