Abstract: The features and advantages of a singe-degree of freedom-type of control-movement gyros have been retained within a system having only one pair of rotors by mounting them on a frame to normally rotate about parallel axes and counter to each other, each spin axis is mounted so that the axis can be rotated simultaneously within two mutually perpendicular planes to provide angular momentum to the frame on any axis that lies in a plane perpendicular to the normal position of the spin axes.

Abstract: A maneuvering space vehicle providing automatic attitude control, propulsion, life support, and communication for an astronaut in a zero gravity environment. The apparatus includes (a) a backpack containing devices for performing these functions and (b) a control unit connected with the backpack and spaced forwardly thereof for reception of the astronaut therebetween. A plurality of thrusters are mounted on the housing and on the control unit to provide six degrees of motion, i.e., translational thrust along three axes and torque about three axes.
