David Bailey

‍Mr. Bailey started his career designing controls for cabin pressure systems, actuator controls for missile and aircraft control surfaces, and engine controls. In 1987, Mr. Bailey took a position at Honeywell Space Systems, where he worked on scientific payloads, the Shuttle glass cockpit upgrade, reaction wheels, and CMGs. In 1997, he discovered the first solution to the CMG array singularity problem and was on a team that found additional solution methods, which led to six patents. He was the principal investigator on a classified optimum CMG array study and has continued to do research on CMG array optimization. Mr. Bailey consulted on CMG-based attitude control systems for five satellites.
