GRAVITY NEWS 8
From India,a very informative article on their recent "moon mision" including some very interesting info on Gyros,Reaction Wheels and Accelerometers, see;

""Unlike in all earlier satellite missions of ISRO, for Chandrayaan-1, the control gyros, which maintain the spacecraft's attitude, had to be miniaturised," said Annadurai. Similarly, the reaction wheels, which change the orientation of the spacecraft by a spin-up or spin-down operation (as was done during the lunar orbit injection (LOI) manoeuvre and will be done many times during the course of the mission) were not the ones that ISRO normally uses, he pointed out. In Chandrayaan-1, the wheels were spun at a much higher speed to achieve greater torques. "

Here again is another application of Gravitational Propulsion, much like the designs we have on file here, called a Ground-bot, this is made of sturdier material than the orbs in an earlier news story.
