Ultra-sensitive accelerometry for space applications... The accelerometers developed are based essentially on the idea of electrostatic levitation of an inert test mass in the center of a cage... having particularly well-defined electric qualities. The position and attitude of the mass are measured by capacitive detectors. These measurements are used, with electronic slaving loops, to apply voltages to a set of electrodes distributed around the test mass.  1, record 3, English, - electronic%20slaving%20loop

Lorsqu'il est lié par la centrale directement à l'avion, le gyroscope doit être complété par une boucle électronique d'asservissement (boucle gyrométrique) qui fait précessionner son rotor de manière à lui faire suivre les mouvements angulaires de l'avion. La commande de précession est proportionnelle à la vitesse angulaire et constitue donc une mesure de celle-ci.  2, record 3, French, - boucle%20%C3%A9lectronique%20d%27asservissement

SIMSAT-The AFIT spacecraft simulator, a three-axis 200 lb. Testbed supported on a spherical air bearing. Capable of simulating three-axis rotational maneuvers of satellites. The Tri-Axis Spherical Air Bearing is a custom spin test machine which uses a spherical gas bearing to achieve a low friction support system with three rotational degrees-of freedom for use in testing cold gas attitude control systems(ACS) of small and large space vehicles. The Air Bearing System consists primarily of a highly polished ball on a stiff shaft, constituting a rotor assembly, which floats on a film of compressed gas. The rotor assembly supports objects weighing up to 300 pounds.  2, record 4, English, - spherical%20gas%20bearing
