The gyros are used to maintain the platform’s inertial orientation by sensing rotations of the platform caused by vehicle-rotation-induced friction at the gimbal pivot points ... One gyro - called the vertical gyro - is oriented so its input axes are aligned with the X and Y platform axes; its input axes provide IMU [Inertial Measurement Unit] platform roll and pitch stabilization. The second gyro is oriented so that one input axis lies along the platform’s Z axis and the other lies in the X-Y plane. This gyro - the azimuth gyro - provides platform yaw stabilization with the Z input axis, while the second input axis is used as a platform rate detector for built-in test equipment. 3, record 2, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The sensors for angular velocity are vibrating gyroscopes(3 axes, to detect rotation and pitch/roll pendulations of the payload). An error signal is obtained differencing the signal from the azimuth gyroscope and a constant level settable from the telemetry, which controls the speed of rotation. Such error signal drives an analog PID [Proportional Integral Differential] circuit; the output of the PID is connected to the PWM [Pulse Width Modulation] driver supplying current to the pivot azimuth motors. 3, record 2, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

Routine mission operations are based on the use of a single control centre in conjunction with two dedicated ESA ground stations(Redu and Odenwald). All payload operations will be pre-planned and executed according to an agreed plan, which is generated and modified in a periodic mission planning exercise. Real-time operations with the spacecraft will normally be limited to the acquisition of telemetry data recorded during the long non-coverage periods and dumped to the ground station during the real-time contacts, and the uplinking to the on-board memory of time-tagged commands for the execution of all pre-planned spacecraft and payload operations. 2, record 7, English, - routine%20mission
