The satellite was built with a gyroscope to enable it to remain in the correct orientation.
In an airplane the gyroscope is important because it can give positional and directional data to the pilot regardless of G-load or other forces. The gyroscope powers the artificial horizon and the heading indicator, two vital IFR instruments.
All I know is that if the Gyroscope's wheel is heavier it will precess faster and if it spins faster it will precess slower. But I'm not sure if slower or faster precession creates a more stable gyroscope.
The gyroscopic effect is explained by the behavior of a gyroscope. The behavior of a gyroscope is torque applied perpendicular to its axis of rotation and also perpendicular to its angular momentum.
A gyroscope?
The Gyroscope was invented by Léon Foucault in 1852.
The gyroscope was invented in 1852 by the French experimental physicist Leon Foucault
Elmer Ambrose Sperry was the inventor of the gyro compass and gyroscope.

The 3DS gyroscope is planted in the middle of the 3DS, beneath the touch screen.
A gyroscope in an airplane is firstly a gyroscope, so it works by maintaining its orientation in space. The instruments in an airplane that use a gyroscope are the attitude indicator, the heading indicator and the turn coordinator. The attitude indicator and heading indicator's gyroscope runs when the vacuum pump on the airplane sucks air in and over the blades to cause the gyroscope to spin. When the gyro spins rapidly (up to 18000rpm) it aligns itself upright and the airplane's instrument aligns itself.
