Gyroscope -- Spacecraft “Poseidon Needles”

A gyroscope is a device designed to sense and maintain direction, based on the theory that angular momentum is not constant.

Gyroscope belongs to inertial guidance device, and its main function is navigation and positioning of navigation facilities, such as navigation, aircraft, spacecraft and missile. It is equivalent to the cerebellum with balanced directional function. Gyroscope not only can be used as indicating instrument, but also as a sensitive component of automatic control system. It can be used as signal sensor.
 
According to need, can provide accurate azimuth gyro instrument, level, position, velocity and acceleration, so that the driver to control the aircraft or ships or aircraft vehicle according to certain flight routes with autonavigator, and in the guidance of the missile, satellite launcher or space probe rocket, the attitude control and orbit control of the flying body are accomplished directly by using these signals.
 
The key component of the gyroscope is the rotor of the gyroscope. The nonuniformity of the alloy density leads to the failure of the gyro rotor material. Therefore, the rotor material requires high density metal material. Because of its high density, tungsten is inherently gyro material, and the gyro rotor is mainly made of high-density tungsten alloy, which makes the gyroscope have very high stability and control accuracy.
 
China is a big country of tungsten production. It has a deep understanding of tungsten application. The industrial gyroscope made in our country has the advantages of high reliability, large range and intelligent, widely used in aviation, aerospace, navigation, weapons, automobiles, biomedicine, environmental monitoring and other fields, has a high reputation in the international community.
