Conversion Formula
nrad/s² = °/min/s × 290888.2087
About Degrees per minute per second
The degree per minute per second (°/min/s) equals π/10800 ≈ 2.909 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s², expressing the rate of change of angular speed in °/min per second. Telescope drive systems ramp slew speed in °/min/s to prevent mechanical shock; a 2 °/min/s ramp safely accelerates to 120 °/min tracking rates. Rotary kiln drive start-up angular acceleration is commonly recorded in °/min/s. 1 °/min/s = π/10800 rad/s².
About Nanoradians per second squared
The nanoradian per second squared (nrad/s²) equals 10⁻⁹ rad/s², measuring imperceptibly gradual changes in rotation rate. Precision spacecraft attitude-control systems operate in this range during ultra-slow slew manoeuvres; GRACE-FO drag-free cold-gas thrusters produced angular accelerations at the nrad/s² scale. Ring laser gyroscopes monitoring Earth's polar motion require resolving nrad/s² variations. 1 nrad/s² = 10⁻⁹ rad/s² ≈ 1.02 × 10⁻⁹ rpm/s.
