  "textContent": "A gyrocompass device is provided for determining a heading relative to a surface of a rotating planetary body. The gyrocompass device includes one or more MEMS gyroscopes that are each fixed in an orientation on a substrate that is parallel to a first plane and that each provide three or more sense axes that lie within the first plane and are each offset from one another by an offset angle. Moreover, a heading determiner receives rotation rates from the three sense axes and determines the heading of the gyrocompass device relative to the surface of the rotating planetary body by fitting a sine or cosine function to the received rotation rates from the one or more MEMS gyroscopes.",
