The use of magnetic bearings (MB) for support of space based flywheels can provide significant improvement in efficiency due to reduction in drag torque. A NASA supported program directed through the Texas A&M Center for Space Power has been formed to advance the technology of MB's for satellite flywheel applications. The five areas of the program are: (a) Magnetic Field Simulation, (b) MB controller Development, (c) Electromechanical Rotordynamics Modeling, (d) Testing and (e) Technology Exchange. Planned innovations in these tasks include eddy current drag torque and power loss determination including moving conductor effects, digital (DSP) based control for high speed operation, MATLAB-based coupled flexible rotor/controller/actuator electromechanical model with fuzzy logic nonlinear control, and ultra high speed>100 krpm measurement of drag torque. The paper examines these areas and provides an overview of the project.
