NASA Glenn Research Center is developing flywheels for space systems. A single axis laboratory version of an integrated power and attitude control (IPACs) system has been experimentally demonstrated. This is a significant step on the road to a flight qualified three axes IPACS system. The presentation outlines the flywheel development process at NASA GRC, the experimental hardware and approach, the IPACS control algorithm that was formulated and the results of the test program and then proposes a direction for future work. GRC has made progress on flywheel module design in terms of specific energy density and capability through a design and test program resulting in three flywheel module designs. Two of the flywheels are used in the 1D-IPACS experiment with loads and power sources to simulate a satellite power system. The system response is measured in three power modes: charge, discharge, and charge reduction while simultaneously producing a net output torque which could be used for attitude control. Finally, recommendations are made for steps that should be taken to evolve from this laboratory demonstration to a flight like system.
