Angular velocity sensor
Virtual consumption - 40mA
The sensor allows measuring of spacecraft current angular velocities in three axes. Depending on the location of the sensor, one of readings, specifically, the speed of rotation around the thread, will be critical for controlling the spacecraft. Other two readings will help to estimate spacecraft center of mass oscillations relative to the local vertical. This can also be used in controlling. The angular velocity determined by the sensor is 0.00875 degrees/second per unit RAW (see the function library, hyro_request_raw).
