Zusammenfassung:A signal torque module assembly (STMA (22)) is provided for use within a control moment gyroscope (20) of the type that includes a rotor assembly (29). In one embodiment, the STMA comprises a torque module assembly (TMA (60)), which includes: (i) a TMA housing (68), (ii) a torque motor (80) coupled to the TMA housing, and (iii) a gear train (72) coupled to the TMA housing and mechanically coupling the torque motor to the rotor assembly. A signal module assembly (62) is coupled to the TMA housing, and an elongated connector (102) electrically couples the signal module assembly and the rotor assembly. The elongated connector extends through the gear train.
