#SonS2019: Control Moment Gyro

A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems. The particular CMG consists of a spinning rotor and one motorized gimbal that tilts the rotor’s angular momentum. As the rotor tilts, the changing angular momentum causes a gyroscopic torque that rotates an aluminium frame.
