A sequence of two impulses can be used to redirect the spin axis of an axi-symmetric rigid body. The first impulse initiates coning motion by imparting an initial transverse component of angular velocity. The second impulse brings the coning motion to a halt by making the transverse angular velocity zero. When the thrust axis is fixed along one axis in the transverse plane then a two impulse maneuver can be designed with a coast time before the initiation of the two impulse maneuver. The coast time is required to point the thrust axis in specific direction for a two impulse solution. Further, by appropriately choosing the time of the second impulse, a solution is found for bodies with a thrust restricted to only one direction along that axis.
