Conversion Formula
nrad/s = µrad/s × 1000
About Microradians per second
The microradian per second (µrad/s) is 10⁻⁶ rad/s. Earth's mean sidereal rotation rate is ≈72.921 µrad/s, the single most important reference at this scale. Navigation-grade ring laser gyroscopes (Honeywell GG1320) reach bias stability below 0.15 µrad/s; fibre-optic gyros for satellite attitude control (iXBlue ASTRIX-120) achieve 0.048 µrad/s. Postglacial isostatic rebound produces crustal block rotations detectable at 0.1-1 µrad/s in GPS survey networks. 1 µrad/s = 10⁻⁶ rad/s ≈ 5.73 × 10⁻⁵ °/s.
About Nanoradians per second
The nanoradian per second (nrad/s) is 10⁻⁹ rad/s, accessible only to the most sensitive geodetic rotation sensors. The Wettzell G-ring laser gyroscope (4 m × 4 m Sagnac interferometer, Bavaria) measures Earth's rotation of ~72.92 µrad/s to a few nrad/s, resolving the Chandler wobble and polar motion. The proposed GINGER experiment targets the Lense-Thirring gravitomagnetic frame-dragging effect, predicted at ~39 nrad/s. State-of-the-art tactical-grade MEMS gyroscopes reach ~100 nrad/s/√Hz noise floors. 1 nrad/s = 10⁻⁹ rad/s ≈ 7.46 × 10⁻⁷ rpm.
