Popis: Very High Resolution Science and Observation missions are more and more demanding both in terms of high stability and in terms of maneuverability. But those two requirements are not compatible; indeed the rotation of the spacecraft induces sloshing of the propellant inside the tanks. And such fluid movement induces perturbation back on the platform. Given the high level of pointing stability that must be achieved such perturbation can be a major driver in the system trade-off.
