🛰️ Reaction-Wheel Single-Axis Slew: Momentum Exchange and Saturation (2D top view)
Top view of a satellite turning by spinning an internal wheel the other way: angular momentum is only exchanged, never created. Same PD attitude law, torque limit and wheel-speed limit as the 3D page, reduced to one axis, with momentum, step-response and saturation checks.
