two CubeSat frictionless platform ideas quite different than in other older articles
one is without air-bearing, but introduces automatic torque compensation, with nice analysis of its performance
second gives a radical approach, with a minimal satellite container, which in theory provides full 3 DOF and minimal parasitic MOI additions, however it seems to be very challenging to realize in practice
