Results of PRIM gyroscope testing
Abstract
The tests were designed so that motions of the gyroscope and the partially restrained internal member (PRIM) could be measured at different conditions of spin and PRIM clearance gaps. Two types of PRIM drive were tested. A round shaft configuration was used to test theory. An octagon drive was used to simulate the XM785 design.
