An instrument that measures rotation or angular velocity, similar to a gyroscope but focused on measuring rotational speed.
From Greek 'gyros' (rotation) + 'metron' (measure). A scientific instrument combining the concept of rotation with measurement principles.
Gyrometers are the instruments that tell spacecraft exactly how fast they're spinning—without them, satellites would tumble uncontrollably through space.
