About Milliradians per second

The milliradian per second (mrad/s) is 10⁻³ rad/s, used in precision guidance and antenna pointing. Phased-array radar beam steering rates for track-while-scan modes are typically 10-1000 mrad/s. LEO Earth-observation satellites (Sentinel-2, WorldView-3) manoeuvre between imaging targets at 5-20 mrad/s and slew at 50-200 mrad/s. Industrial robot wrist joints (KUKA, Fanuc) operate at 17-175 mrad/s. Optical encoders (Heidenhain RON 905) can measure angular velocity to 0.1 mrad/s accuracy. 1 mrad/s = 10⁻³ rad/s ≈ 0.0573 °/s ≈ 9.549 × 10⁻³ rpm.

About Degrees per minute

The degree per minute (°/min) equals π/10800 rad/s ≈ 2.909 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s. The sidereal tracking rate for astronomical telescopes is 0.25 °/min (15 °/h); modern robotic observatories slew at 100-400 °/min between targets. A clock's hour hand turns at 0.5 °/min; the minute hand at 6 °/min. Industrial drum conveyors for cement kilns rotate at 0.5-5 °/min; automotive power-steering columns during parking manoeuvres rotate at 30-180 °/min. 1 °/min ≈ 2.909 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s = 1/60 rpm.
