Control design for underactuated mechanical systems is an active area of research. In this paper we focus on mechanical control systems defined on Lie groups with the Lagrangian equal to kinetic energy. Examples include satellites and underwater vehicles. Under a controllability assumption, we propose two algorithms to compute small amplitude, periodic inputs that achieve arbitrary recon-figurations. 1
