Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...

Laser gyroscopes represent a pivotal technology in measuring Earth’s rotation with unmatched precision, utilising the Sagnac effect to detect minuscule angular variations. These instruments, often ...

When a driverless car or autonomous drone loses GPS contact, it utilizes a tool known as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to keep track of its orientation in space. Such devices could soon be more ...

Hubble has run into more trouble. The space telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago when one of its three remaining gyroscopes—part of the pointing system—malfunctioned. The ...

High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...

On March 15, NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory entered into safe mode, temporarily suspending science operations due to degrading performance from one of its three gyroscopes (gyros), which are ...

Mouser has announced it is stocking Murata Electronics’ SCH16T-K10 6-DOF gyroscope and accelerometer. The SCH16T-K10 is a ...
