Abstract
A gyroscope has been designed to measure 0.1 milliarcseconds. This gyroscope will measure the theoretical space time curves resulting in geodetic drift and frame-dragging drift. The reference for angle measurement will be the star Rigel. The satellite carrying the gyroscope and instruments for measurement must achieve drag free translational control which led to new controller and thruster designs. The satellite's co-experiments are aeronomy geodesy and clocking. The low drift, stable rotor of the gyroscope is also the world's most accurate mechanical clock.
