NASA personnel handle a single Control Moment Gyroscope for the International Space Station. The ISS employs a total of four CMGs, mounted on Z1 truss [16] as primary actuating devices during normal flight mode operation. The objective of the CMG flight control system is to hold the space station at a fixed attitude relative to the surface of ...
Classically, a gyroscope consists of a spinning mass, but there are also "ring laser gyros" utilizing coherent light reflected around a closed path. Another type of "gyro" is a hemispherical resonator gyro where a crystal cup shaped like a wine glass can be driven into oscillation just as a wine glass "sings" as a finger is rubbed around its ...
Gyroscopic control may refer to: Control moment gyroscope , an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems Gyroscopic control (gaming) , accelerometers to as a control input

A gyroscope flywheel will roll or resist about the output axis depending upon whether the output gimbals are of a free or fixed configuration. An example of some free-output-gimbal devices is the attitude control gyroscopes used to sense or measure the pitch, roll and yaw attitude angles in a spacecraft or aircraft. Animation of a gyro wheel in ...
Zero-propellant maneuvers can be achieved by carefully planning and commanding operations with attitude control devices such as this Control Moment Gyroscope for the International Space Station. A zero-propellant maneuver (ZPM) is an optimal attitude trajectory used to perform spacecraft rotational control without the need to use thrusters ...
