Experimental Research of Temperature Control System of a Precision Gyroscopic Meter of Angular Velocity Vector

The article focuses on experimental research of the two-contour temperature control system of a precision gyroscopic meter of angular velocity vector intended for space exploitation. The study is based on a two-degree-of-freedom floated-type gyroscope. The article describes solutions chosen for constructing the temperature control system as well the device layout and its kinematic scheme. Moreover, we show methods of thermal tests and means of determining the gyroscope’s intrinsic drift value (zero signal) of the device’s measuring channel. We present the experimental work results of the measuring channel of the device with the two-contour temperature control system at various temperature effects on the device. According to the analysis of the results obtained, we give recommendations for further improvement of the temperature control system of the device, i. e. we suggest introducing adaptable adjustment temperature of one of the contours of the device’s sensing element temperature control.
