Recent developments in advanced composite flywheels using magnetic bearings has produced specific energies greater than 30 Whr/lb. These specific energy levels provide an opportunity for significant spacecraft weight savings compared to using nickel-hydrogen battery technology. Additional weight savings are possible if the flywheels are also used for momentum control. This paper explores the new challenges presented by application of flywheel technology to space power and attitude control subsystems. Issues with respect to mission application, safety and containment, launch environment, and combined power and attitude control operation are discussed.
