   Do spin-stabilized satellites have attitude drift requiring   
   periodic correction?   
      
   If not, why? Even inertial navigation platforms have drift.   
      
   If yes, how do they correct their attitude? Thrusters?   
   Reaction wheels?   
      
   Sorry if this is a re-post; for some reason my previous attempt   
   never made it
