The design concept of an inertial reference unit is reported that uses the gyroscope in a rate mode in conjunction with a unique application of a drift compensated and temperature stabilized solid state integrator for the inertial mode. A typical test program and results for an inertial reference unit as applied to the Mariner Mars 1971 program to achieve highly reliable spacecraft operation are also described.
