Space Forum / Shuttle / March 2005Gyros?
Hi, with the tripping of a breaker on yet another Gyro, is there a plan to maybe take a second one ofn the Shuttle? Seems to me that that controller they fitted may be dying from whatever killed the first one, namely, one assumes, something dodgy on the gyro itself.

Appears not; over in .station, Jacques kindly posted the blurb that includes this quote: "Gerstenmaier said the power control module has 17 channels and that a suspect transitor believed to be susceptible to failures in identical devices used throughout the station apparently caused the gyro circuit to trip open Wednesday. An identical failure knocked CMG-2 off line last year, requiring Fincke and Expedition 9 commander Gennady Padalka to replace the unit last summer."

Sitting across the bay were two items that were identified as CMG's. I posted a while back asking if there was a second one there and no one ever commented. I have pic from the visit. Don't have anyway of posting it, other than attaching it here. I won't do it now unless someone would like to see it.

Could the second piece be the carrier? Jim |
