The Roll axis is one of the three principal axes in which an aircraft or spacecraft can change orientation. A shift in the roll axis will cause a craft to rotate about its principal axis.


Very large spacecraft will have little control over roll. By adding RCS thrusters to spacecraft or control surfaces to aircraft, roll can be more quickly changed.
