Orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 800 km Nasa's SeaWinds radar despite minor glitches earlier in the year is performing well and is returning excellent data. There had been problems with the spacecrafts inertial reference gyroscopes. The gyroscopes are used to orientate the satellite. 1, record 1, English, - inertial%20reference%20gyroscope

Gyros de références inertielles : Admettons que le montage de Cardan est idéal et le centrage de O parfait, c’est-à-dire que O est à la fois le point de croisement des axes des articulations et le centre d’inertie du gyro. Dans ces conditions en l’absence de tout couple moteur le gyro ne reçoit aucun couple et donc son axe reste inertiellement fixe. 1, record 1, French, - gyro%20de%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence%20inertielle
