Assembly
NominalSystems.Classes.dll

This module implements a first order gravity gradient torque acting on a spacecraft. It is written in a general manner such that one or more gravitational objects are considered. This allows a continued simulation to apply gravity gradients torque near the Earth, the moon and onwards to Mars.
