This SatLab plot shows the power available to an EOS satellite in emergency mode. The SatLab script that generated this analysis is shown below.
% Demo: EOS satellite in emergency mode

% This demo simulates an EOS satellite in emergency
% mode. The satellite is rotated about its y-axis
% by 55 deg and is spinning about its x-axis with
