CIRUS
A next-generation strategic-grade Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) Inertial Reference Unit for spacecraft attitude control — four fully redundant gyros, rad-hard electronics, and dual-redundant interfaces built on more than 60 years of space heritage.
Four gyros, one integral chassis
Built on over sixty years of space heritage, CIRUS is designed and qualified as the next generation of our heritage system. It combines strategic-grade performance with a compact, low-cost integral chassis: four Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) sensors operating in a fully redundant configuration for spacecraft attitude control, supporting DoD, NASA, and commercial missions.
Built for mission success
