Spacecraft attitude control | Gyroscopes

Control moment gyroscope

A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems. A CMG consists of a spinning rotor and one or more motorized gimbals that tilt the rotor’s angular momentum. As the rotor tilts, the changing angular momentum causes a gyroscopic torque that rotates the spacecraft. (Wikipedia).

Inertial Gyroscope Spin Up and Demo

In an experiment related to our Apollo Guidance Computer restoration, we spin up a rate gyroscope and demonstrate how it works. Much better versions of this gyro were used in the Apollo Inertial Measurement Unit used by the guidance computer. But similar principles apply. We eventually pla
