Multi-spin spacecraft and gyrostats as dynamical systems with multiscroll chaotic attractors

Attitude dynamics of the multi-spin spacecraft (MSSC) and multirotor unbalanced gyrostats (MUG) is considered in aspects of the possibility of the strange multiscroll chaotic attractors' (MCA) realization. Corresponding connections between the dynamical systems with MCA (Lorenz, Sprott, Wang, Qi, Li, Chen, Lü, Liu, Čelikovský, Burke, Shaw, Arneodo, Coullet, etc.) and the mathematical models of the MSSC/MUG' attitude dynamics are established/defined at the presence of only linear structures of external torques (primarily linear dissipation or excitation) and control signals in the internal rotors' engines of the MSSC/MUG.
