- In electronics, the slew rateSlew rateIn electronics, the slew rate represents the maximum rate of change of a signal at any point in a circuit.Limitations in slew rate capability can give rise to non linear effects in electronic amplifiers...
represents the maximum rate of change of a signal at any point in a circuit - In motion control, particularly with application to telescopes and spacecraft, slewing is the rotation of an object about an axis
- In spacecraft navigation, slew (spacecraft)Slew (spacecraft)A spacecraft is either spin stabilized or 3 axis stabilized .For a spin stabilized spacecraft a slew means a change of the direction of the spin axis relative to space. This can be done by applying a torque to the spacecraft, in general by operating a thruster in pulsed mode synchronous to the spin...
describes methods of changing the attitude of a spacecraft- The eigenvector slewEigenvector slewIn aerospace engineering, especially those areas dealing with spacecraft, the eigenvector slew is a method to calculate a steering correction by rotating the spacecraft around one fixed axis...
is a particular method of calculating the rotation required for a specific desired change in attitude

- In astronomy, the process of rotating a telescope to observe a different region of the sky is referred to as slewing
- In spacecraft navigation, slew (spacecraft)
- In computing, the Network Time Protocol (NTP)Network Time ProtocolThe Network Time Protocol is a protocol and software implementation for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. Originally designed by David L...
