Overview	Ultra-High Performance Gyroscope for Future X-Ray Interferometer Missions Tenders are invited for Ultra-High Performance Gyroscope for Future X-Ray Interferometer Missions - Expro Plus. Open Date: 27 06 2024 12:47 CET Closing Date: 26 07 2024 13:00 CET Price Range: 200-500 KEURO ObjectivesAnalyze and refine performance needs for AOCS sensors of future X-rayinterferometers. Determine a preliminary feasibility to reach theseperformance metrics (gyroscopes, very high accuracy Star Trackers) and listthe most suitable technologies.DescriptionFuture XRI mission will require a very significantly enhanced sensingperformance compared to anything considered before. As an X-ray mission,the payload cannot be used in the control loop (Fine Guidance Sensor), andtherefore, other sensors are envisaged.The scientific community considers an extremely high accuracy gyroscope asan enabler. The performance specification is preliminary but is between 1and 2 orders of magnitude better than what is available today (with Astrix 200from Airbus Defense and Space). In 2022 were concluded two TDE activities,both analyzing the landscape for the future of high performance gyroscopes.The objective of these activities was to look at next-generation replacementsor complement to the existing portfolio, fitting within similarmass volume power consumption. Within the usual envelope, the studieshave not identified performance improvements (mostly ARW and biasstability) of this magnitude.For this particular activity, the gyroscope is to be seen as part of the payload.A parallel to be considered to understand the scope is for instance the classof accelerometers used for orbit control and navigation, in comparison towhat is used for gravity missions. Ground gyroscopes have reached the levelof performance required, however they are designed to measure Earthrotation. One critical aspect to address is the performance of the technologyaround the zero (absolute inertial pointing) as a number of technologies canbe blind or non linear around the zero.A proposed preliminary set of tasks could be the following :1. Requirement analysis in the frequency domain for the mission2. Possible sensors suite (single gyroscope, high frequency and lowfrequency gyroscope, very high accuracy Star Tracker)3.
