Oh interesting! Do you have any links to the configuration? Do they use gyros for rotational control instead of thrusters?
No idea about what they use for attitude control, but I do know that it is too expensive to point the satellite antennas away from Earth for the inevitable orbit corrections, so such satellites have the thrusters placed in direction for such manoeuvres.
