Publisher's Synopsis
Gyroscopic force translation was a research topic that interested NASA from the earliest days of their space program, based upon both U.S. and Soviet military technology, including over two decades of both Allied and German WWII used of gyro force stabilization, including Army tanks, Air Force bombers, and Navy heavy machine gun recoil control systems, as well as more complex navigation control systems in aircraft. Together, such inertial gyro force stabilization and translation were to be used by both U.S. and Soviet space programs for weightless flight EVA spacesuits - and the basis for 'Virtual Reality'.
