ABSTRACT:
A control moment gyro comprising a wheel support structure which is mounted on a base by a motor, which is used to rotate the support around a first axis and bearing a wheel arrangement for driving the wheel spinner at a high speed around a second axis perpendicuIar to the first. The support structure includes a tubular part which rotates on the base and a flange which is disposed on only one side of the wheel and which is fixed both to the wheel and the tubular part. The diameter of the wheel and the point at which the wheel is fixed to the flange are proportioned such that the wheel penetrates the tubular part.
