About
The Gyroscope Sensor for Measuring Angular Velocity Vector Projections 3 is a monoblock device designed for the precise measurement of angular increments (rate integral) along three sensitive axes. It transmits this crucial information to the object’s control system. The device integrates electronic and optoelectronic modules with a block of sensitive elements, which contains three mutually orthogonal fiber-optic gyroscope elements. Key features include a non-sealed housing, pulse and analogue outputs for versatile integration, and the absence of a temperature control system. Released in 2011, it boasts a guaranteed service life of 10 years and has a strong flight heritage, with over 20 units produced and shipped to customers, having successfully passed flight tests as part of manned spacecraft.
