% Demonstrate controlling nutation and the momentum axis of a spacecraft
 The spacecraft is a gyrostat. The controller uses a single pulse to
 damp nutation. This demonstrates how to do manual nutation
 and momentum axis control. The system is designed to kill nutation
 with one pulse so that the roll angle is zeroed at the same time.

 This also shows an analytical computation of nutation frequency and
 compares it with eigenvalues from the Jacobian of the nonlinear 
 equations.
