TS EN 16603-60-21
Space engineering - Gyros terminology and performance specification
This Standard specifies gyros functions and performances as part of a space project. This Standard covers aspects of functional and performance requirements, including nomenclature, definitions, functions and performance metrics for the performance specification of spaceborne gyros.
The Standard focuses on functional and performance specifications with the exclusion of mass and power, TM/TC interface and data structures.
When viewed from the perspective of a specific project context, the requirements defined in this Standard can be tailored to match the genuine requirements of a particular profile and circumstances of a project.
The requirements verification by test can be performed at qualification level only or also at acceptance level. It is up to the Supplier, in agreement with the customer, to define the relevant verification approach in the frame of a specific procurement, in accordance with clause 5.2 of ECSS-E-ST-10-02.
The present standard does not cover gyro use for launch vehicles.
This standard can be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

About This Item
TS EN 16603-60-21 is a space engineering standard that brings together the terminology, functions and performance characteristics of gyros used in space projects. It provides a common technical basis for preparing a performance specification for spaceborne gyros, so that names, definitions, functional concepts and performance measures are used consistently.
How the standard frames gyro terminology and performance
In general technical terms, gyros are inertial sensors used to sense a spacecraft’s attitude and angular motion. Because different gyro technologies can differ in sensing principle, stability behavior and error sources, clear terminology matters as much as performance metrics. In this standard, the emphasis is on functional and performance requirements; mass and power, the TM/TC interface, and data structures are excluded from scope.
The standard is also intended to be tailored to the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project. In practice, that means the stated requirements can be adapted to the real mission profile, and the verification approach may be defined by the supplier together with the customer within the project procurement framework. Verification by test may be carried out at qualification level only, or also at acceptance level. The standard does not cover gyro use for launch vehicles.
