SIGNAL TORQUE MODULE ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN CONTROL MOMENT GYROSCOPE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control moment gyroscope stator assembly including a signal torque module assembly having high-torque output that is compact and lightweight.SOLUTION: A signal torque module assembly (STMA 22) is provided for use within a control moment gyroscope 20 of a type that includes a rotor assembly 29. The STMA comprises a TMA 60, which includes a housing with a stator assembly connector, a torque motor coupled to the housing, and a gear train arranged in the housing and mechanically coupling the torque motor to the rotor assembly; an SMA 62 having a signal module assembly housing mounted on a signal module assembly mounting connector disposed in the housing opposite a stator assembly housing; and an elongated connector extending through the TMA and electrically coupling the SMA and the rotor assembly.
