To perform a gyro test of general relativity in a satellite and develop associated control technologyPerformance tests of gyroscope operations and gyroscope readout equipment are discussed. The gyroscope was tested for 400 hours at liquid helium temperatures with spin speeds up to 30 Hz. Readout by observing trapped magnetic flux in the spinning rotor with a sensitive magnetometer was accomplished. Application of the gyroscope to space probes and shuttle vehicles.
