Gimbal Mechanism

A gimbal mechanism is a device that allows an object to remain oriented in the same direction regardless of the motion of its support. In space and astronautical engineering, gimbal mechanisms are commonly used to stabilize spacecraft and satellites. They consist of two or more rings that are mounted on orthogonal axes, allowing the object to rotate freely in any direction. By controlling the rotation of the rings, the orientation of the object can be maintained even if the support is moving or rotating. Gimbal mechanisms are used in a variety of space applications, including telescopes, cameras, and antennas.
