This paper addresses the Feasible Angular Momentum(FAM) chart that can be used as an indicator for maneuverability analysis of spacecraft installed with control moment gyros(CMGs). Recently, as the demands for high agility of spacecraft has been increasing in order to perform the space mission given to spacecraft more effectively, interest in CMGs, which is a high torque generator is increasing. However, since the CMG has a singularity problem that does not generate the control torque in the specific directions, in this paper, we consider the two pairs of parallel control moment gyros(TPCMGs) that follows the roof-type configuration. The Gimbal space was newly defined except for the space where singularity can be generated and the space where torque error is generated due to the hardware limits. The feasible angular momentum space is defined as a FAM chart, and it is very meaningful that it is possible to analyze the spacecraft's rotational maneuverability effectively by deriving the spacecraft's 3-axis parameters in the corresponding gimbal space mathematically.
