Background: Spacecraft Control. The incident was preceded by a routine calibration of the spacecraft's three roll gyroscopes (gyros). The three gyros, all aligned with the spacecraft roll axis, which is normally pointed toward the sun, measure incremental changes in roll attitude (orientation about the axis in space where the spacecraft rolls). 3, record 1, English, - roll%20gyroscope
