Abstract

A device is disclosed for regulating a set value and/or for stabilizing elastic objects subject to spin and free to move around their axis of rotation, in particular aircraft and spacecraft. For that purpose, the regulating signals required to regulate the set value or to stabilize the freely moving objects can be obtained by means of a regulator having a transfer function with a denominator degree about three orders higher than the numerator.
