#CMT# #/CMT# The gyrodyne (10) has an inertia wheel (50) mounted on a mobile part or rotor (40) of a universal block assembly via a wheel support (20). The assembly has a stator (42) and rotating units to rotate the rotor with respect to the stator around a rotational axis. The inertia wheel has a spinner rotated around another rotational axis not aligned with the former axis. The stator is mounted on a chock (30) having a planar lower base (32). The former axis is inclined with respect to the base, and the rotating units are housed in an inner volume (31) of the chock. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Gyrodyne for controlling attitude and orientation of a space vehicle e.g. satellite (claimed) and space station. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The gyrodyne has reduced size and weight, is compact, and can be mounted on a load-bearing structure by using a device having reduced volume and weight. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an exploded perspective view of a gyrodyne. 10 : Gyrodyne 20 : Wheel support 30 : Chock 31 : Inner volume 32 : Planar lower base 40 : Rotor 42 : Stator 50 : Inertia wheel. |
