Mechanical Engineering

Spacecraft Design Dynamics Conceptual Question:

If I had an oblate spinning spacecraft (hockey puck shaped)spinning about it's z-axis (the body z-axis being normal to the topsurface).

If I were to add an internal spinning wheel with that spin axisaligned with the body z (therefore a dual spinner spacecraft) doesthat change the existing stability at all?

My guess is that it makes it even more stable by adding moreresilience to external torque, like a bicycle wheel rotated on itsside, internal gyro, etc.
