Another reason to believe the spacecraft experienced high body rates is that the gyros-all three axes independently-were found in Whole Angle Mode (WAM) when the spacecraft was recovered. This mode is entered when the gyro's normal strap-down mode (a locked force-to-rebalance loop) cannot be maintained; this occurs when body rates exceed about 11°/s ...  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - whole%20angle%20mode
