Figure 9.1: The solar radiation torques for two full rotations of the satellite around
apogee. The top graph shows the torques in the inertial reference frame, clearly exposing the three-fold symmetry of the satellite. The bottom graph shows the torques
in the satellite reference frame, as observed and applied in the Euler equation. The
red, blue and green curves represent the x, y and z axes respectively.
