The Starlight 1000 IRU (previously known as IRU 24) employs the latest closed-loop fiber-optic gyro (FOG) technology. It is a space grade, ultra high performance strap- down Inertial Reference Unit (IRU), suited for satellites, space navigation applications, including EO SATS, COM SATS, line of sight stabilization, space-based radar and guidance applications.
