I've been reading about Hubble Space Telescope and the concept of momentum dumping done by the magnetic torque rods. I understand that when the reaction/momentum wheels are saturated, the magnetic torquers (magnetorques/magnetic torque rods, there were a lot of names for them !) must be used to remove some of the momentum.
However, I'm confused by the process of momentum dumping. How is it done?
Does anyone have a link that explains it more in depth?
{or may be willing to explain it here}
Thanks!
