The co-inventors are Dennis Wayne Smith, Phoenix, Paul Buchele, Glendale, Ariz., Carlos J. Stevens, Peoria, Ariz., and Stephen Edward Fiske, Phoenix. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is provided for deployment on a spacecraft. The CMG includes an inner gimbal assembly (IGA), which, in turn, includes an IGA housing, a rotor rotatably coupled to the IGA housing, and a spin motor coupled to the IGA housing and configured to rotate the rotor about a spin axis. The CMG further comprises a stator assembly, which includes: (i) a stator assembly housing rotatably coupled to the IGA housing, and (ii) a torque module assembly coupled to the stator assembly housing and configured to rotate the IGA about a gimbal axis. A gimbal bearing is disposed between the IGA housing and the stator assembly housing. The gimbal bearing resides between the spin axis and the torque module assembly such that the distance between the gimbal bearing and the spin axis is less than the distance between the gimbal bearing and the torque module assembly." The patent application was filed on Feb. 11, 2008 (12/029,090). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7,997,157.PN.&OS=PN/7,997,157&RS=PN/7,997,157 Written by Anjali Jha; edited by Jaya Anand.
