InertiaCubeSat:

Path: CubeSat/AttitudeControl

% Compute the inertia of a CubeSat. 
 This assumes the mass is uniformly distributed throught the volume. This is a
 good first cut.

 Type InertiaCubeSat for a demo. See also CubeSatFaces.

 If mass is omitted is selects the maximum mass for your CubeSat size,
 which is 1 kg per U.
