ABSTRACT:
An illustrative embodiment of the invention provides an isolation flexure assembly for the control moment gyroscope of a spacecraft attitude control system for attenuation of vibratory disturbances therein, due to rotor static and dynamic unbalance and spin bearing radial forces. The isolation flexure assembly isolates the rotor, the main generator of the vibratory disturbances, from the spacecraft permitting ultraprecise pointing or precision torquing of the spacecraft.
