摘要：
The Bristol GyroWheel (TM) is an innovative spacecraft attitude control system device that provides control torques about three axes while at the same time measuring the spacecraft angular rates about two axes. The principles of operation of this unique device are explained and the flight model design is described. The unit will be qualified and flown on the Canadian Space Agency's SCISAT-1 spacecraft in 2002. The accommodation of the GyroWheel (TM) in the SCISAT-1 attitude control system design is outlined. An engineering model of the device has been developed and the paper discusses the test program. The development program is described and the ground and on-orbit tests that will be conducted are briefly summarized. The GyroWheel (TM) offers significant benefits over conventional ADCS technologies and promises to fulfill the need for low cost, low mass, high reliability and high accuracy attitude control systems for a broad range of applications that include communications, remote sensing, navigation, and space science. The flight on SCISAT-1 will allow confirming the performance capabilities and will demonstrate many of its benefits.
