Abstract

The advantages and the characteristics of the fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) for the space application, compared with the traditional mechanical gyroscope and the laser gyroscope, have been mentioned. There are differences of the FOG designing between application in space and other conditions especially the radiation-resistant, low power cost and less weight of the FOG. The key techniques of the fiber optic gyros technology have been proposed and some test results have been discussed.
