e/Yo-yo de-spin

Information
has gloss	eng: A yo-yo de-spin mechanism is a device used to reduce the spin of satellite, typically right after launch. It consists of two lengths of cable with weights on the ends. The cables are wrapped around the final stage and/or satellite, in the manner of a double yo-yo. When the weights are released, the spin of the rocket flings them away from the spin axis. This transfers enough angular momentum to the weights to reduce the spin of the satellite to the desired value. The weights are often released.
