[T]he method for propelling and directing a vehicle without interacting with environment allows the reaction wheel momentum unloading procedure. [...] The step of unloading a momentum comprises the sub-steps of: permuting each of the reaction wheels along the first and second axes of rotation; and reversing the direction of the corresponding reacting torque of each of the reaction wheels thereby allowing a momentum unloading of each of the reaction wheels while propelling the vehicle in a previous direction.
