   The acquisition sequence for the ComStar satellite. 
   Comstar is spinning in transfer orbit. When the demonstration starts it is 
   at orbit normal. The acquisition sequence has the following phases:

   1. Despin to the DST angular rate
   2. DST with nutation damping
   3. Pitch estimation
   4. Pitch acquisition
   5. Normal mode

   Phases 2-4 make use of the tach loop
