Le GNCS [Guidance, Navigation and Control System] est une combinaison de senseurs optiques, de gyroscopes et d'un ordinateur, destinés à mesurer l'attitude et la vitesse du vaisseau, ainsi que sa position dans l'espace [...] [Il] est divisé en 3 sous-systèmes : Inertiel (Inertial Subsystem, ISS). L'organe majeur de l'ISS est l'unité de mesure inertielle [...], qui fournit une plate-forme inertielle fixe. Peu importe la position du vaisseau, la plate-forme stable de l'IMU reste fixe, comme la surface de l'eau dans un verre. Dès qu'une variation est détectée, un IRIG (Inertial Rate Integrating Gyroscope) rétablit l'orientation de la plate-forme. [...] Optique (Optical Subsystem, OSS).
