Please see the attached image about the Space Shuttle Endeavour. What would be the positive yaw angle (Y+, orange arrow, rotation on XY plane) turned by the Space Shuttle orbiter in 5 seconds if we fire thruster F5L (yellow vector) for 1 second? Thruster F5L features a 60 deg angle with the XY plane and the thrust vector application point falls 10 meters away from the center of mass (normal distance).
Consider the space shuttle as a cylinder, 80 tons mass and 2 meter radius . g = 9.81 m/s. Thruster F5L has a 310 sec specific impulse and mass flow 0.65 kg /sec. The spaceship is initially at rest and in space.
