Hubble's Instruments: FGS - Fine Guidance Sensors Resolution 0.002 arcseconds Gyroscopes Hubble has six gyroscopes, or gyros, on board. Two of these are needed at all times to keep the telescope pointing in the right direction and to keep the telescope stable. Inside a gyro a wheel is spinning more than 19,000 times per minute (315 Hz) and there are electronics to detect the very small deflections of the wheel's axis. 28
