Abstract. Results of development of cardan-less inertial orientation systems with electrostatic gyroscopes for orbital spaceships are reviewed. Construction of electrostatic gyroscope with solid rotor is described, and inertial system designed on the base of the gyroscope for orientation of space vehicles for remote sensing of the Earth is presented. The problem of system accuracy is considered, special features of software developed for the system are described. Some results of the system flight tests are demonstrated.
Keywords:
electrostatic gyroscope, inertial system, orbital spaceship.
