equatorial orbit satellite requires spin stabilization, uses virtually no energy one system is in motion.
Radial jets pulsed to initate spinning. axial jets pulsed at spin phase. orbit position and velocity correction. solar cells around outside many exposed to sun at all times. Phase I IDSCS are spin stabilized. spin stablization parallel to earth axis maintains position since both axis fixed in space.
