<p>A control moment gyroscope (CMG (50,120)) is provided for deployment on a spacecraft. The CMG includes a stator housing (52,122), an inner gimbal assembly (54,124) disposed in the stator housing, and a torque motor (94,138) coupled to the stator housing and at least partially disposed around an intermediate portion (78) of the inner gimbal assembly. The torque motor is configured to rotate the inner gimbal assembly about a gimbal axis (56,140).</p> |
