Who know what is the difference between REACTION WHEELS and CONTROL MOMENT Gyros(GMC)?

thanks rb1957
I think like you but the mater is that in some articles I've red they have different ways to make change in direction.
Some one told me the CMG use moment vector and reaction wheels use reactions of motion?!
I want, I can, I do.

see:
A CMG's speed is ostensibly constant, and torque is generated by changing the orientation of the spinning mass. A reaction wheel's torque is generated by changing the speed of rotation, which results in a reaction moment.

I think your description is true.
and I think the difference is in their way of control.
thanks a lot for your help
be congratulate

Reaction wheels are also ostensibly "active" since their speeds are dictated by a controller that's actively trying to change the orientation of the platform.
In either case, the platform "reacts" to the torque, and in both cases, the torque requires some action by the controller, either changing the orientation of the wheel, or changing the speed.
