Funny, but it seems to me that magnetic torquing has been around quite a
while. Iremember that the DMSP satellites (Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program) used 6 months of magnetic torquing to bring their second bird
back out of the pitching that a malfunction after launch caused, and that
was circa 1975.

What gives?
