J. V. Fedor: Theory and design curves for a yo-yo de-spin mechanism for satellites. Introduction. In: AD 260758. Armed Services Technical Information Agency, S. 1, abgerufen am 28. Mai 2016 (englisch): „The yo-yo de-spin mechanism is essentially two pieces of wire with weights on theends (Figure 1). These wires are symmetrically wrapped around the equator of the satellite and the weights are secured by a release mechanism (Figure 2).“
