Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method for achieving satellite (24) attitude stabilization against the undesired influences of solar pressure or other attitude disturbances to be used with earth-orbiting satellites of the type employing two solar collection panels (30a), (30b) extending from the satellite body in generally opposite directions (36), (38). Synchronized simultaneous movement of both solar panels about their normal sun-tracking position causes desirable torques to be generated which have a cancelling influence on the undesired satellite movement caused by solar pressure or other attitude disturbances.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 2, 1989. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 2, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 2, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
