This is the simplest application of my universal gravity drive. GDrive is controlled by a script that adjusts the gravity generators pointed in three axes X/Y/Z (Left/Up/Forward) to achieve target velocity.
It detects natural gravity and counters it. Can be used to get very cheap and powerful thrust for satellite or just space ships.
*** The construction doesn't need to be balanced and uniformly weighted! The gyroscope override compensates the rotation if the center of intertial mass is not equal to gravitational center of mas. ***

Note:
The platform doesn't use any thrusters. So if you paste it in gravity stronger than 0.4 G the artificial gravity generators will fail.

Control:
The following programmable block command arguments can be used:
RESET - turn off the GDrive
SET_VEL x y z - sets target velocity in three axes
for instance:
SET_VEL 0 100 0 - will accelerate the platform to get 100 m/s velocity in y (UP) axis.
SET_VEL 0 0 0 - will deccelerate to complete stop
SET_START - set the current position as a start point (see below)
GOTO_START - matches the velocity to reach the target set by SET_START. Can be used for maintaining position regardless of external forces. For instance for maintaining orbit and docking.
ROT_NGRAV - if in presence of natural gravity it will constantly rotate the station to match the Y (UP) gdrive axis with the natural gravity vector.

Flight seat bindings:
1 - SET_VEL 0 0 104
2 - RESET
4 - SET_VEL 0 0 0
6 - SET_START
7 - GOTO_START
9 - ROT_NGRAV
