Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control moment gyroscope stator assembly, comprising a signal torque module assembly, having high torque output with a comparatively small size and a light weight. SOLUTION: The signal torque module assembly (STMA (22)) is provided for use in a control moment gyroscope (20) including a rotor assembly (29). The STMA comprises: (i) a torque module assembly housing (68); (ii) a torque motor (80) coupled with the torque module assembly housing; and (iii) a torque module assembly (60) including a gear train (72), which is mechanically coupled with the torque module assembly housing and mechanically coupling the torque motor with the rotor assembly. A signal module assembly (62) is coupled with the torque module assembly housing, and an elongated connector (102) electrically connects the signal module assembly and the rotor assembly. The elongated connector extends through the gear train. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
