Abstract
We consider a new design of a high-precision three-axial sensor of angular velocities whose sensitive elements are fiber optic gyroscopes using the Sagnac effect. The instrument is designed for measuring the rotation velocity of an orbiting spacecraft (microsatellite) and for performing its attitude control.
