System consists of twin-gyro controller for each of 3 orthogonal axes of space vehicle; with twin-gyro controller about each axis, cross coupling associated with systems using single gyro about each axis is eliminated which makes possible use of large gimbal angles, so that large portion of momentum stored in gyros is available for transfer to vehicle; control system had rapid response and good damping characteristics; in automatic closed-loop mode control system was able to maintain attitude of simulator to within 1 sec of arc about all axes.
