Rocketdyne's Twin Disk Composite Flywheel represented a breakthrough in the state of the art--not only in being the first composite flywheel to store 2 kW-hr of energy--but also the first to successfully mate the advantages of composite materials (light weight and high energy density) and metal hubs (with dual bearing races) thus providing a system-ready flywheel with both high energy storage and high torque capabilities. New studies indicate that flywheels will play a significant role in the manned space station. With only minor modifications, the existing flywheel can be converted to the appropriate configuration to provide the basic structure for the IPACS, AMCD, and ASPS.
