    Gyroscope precession compensation questions

    You mean if Gyro on the pole is placed horizontally and is turning approx 15 deg. per hour and gyro on the equator is placed vertically and will be flipping with the same angle yes?

    Gyroscope precession compensation questions

    Hi Lattitude actually has an influence on it, as per article, but as you said, when you worked with Inertial Reference System systems they are already compensated. "Precession Variation. Earth rate precession varies between 15.04o/hr at the poles and 0o/hr at the equator. It is computed for...

    Gyroscope precession compensation questions

    Hi Thanks a lot for the reply Yep you are right one gyro will miss this axis. I did not thing about it, and this is quite simple. V2 had 2 gyros so everything is clear now. But we need to take the actual lattitude into account and then count it during flight, but as you said it is not an...

    Gyroscope precession compensation questions

    Hello I was watching some videos about gyroscopes and inertial guidance. In one of the videos lecturer said that rotating gyroscope set in one direction on gimbal will be pointing one direction and stay like this virtually forever, so we can use it for guidance system. However I read more...
