6Three-axis stabilization is a method of spacecraft attitude control in which the spacecraft is held fixed in the desired orientation without any rotation. This design is now common for communications satellites, often with large solar panels on each side of the spacecraft.
7Spin-stabilization is a method of spacecraft attitude control in which the usually cylindrical spacecraft is held fixed in the desired orientation using rotation. This design was common for communications satellites, with solar cells around the perimeter of the cylinder.
