The spinning gyroscope moved accordingly to its produced torque , maintaining a stable axis.
Contact would not change its plane, similar to its behavior in the presence of Earth’s gravity

Contact would change the direction in which it moved.
It moves accordingly to its torque and maintains its axis, its rigidity, precession
and rotation remained unaffected.

These results can be attributed mainly to the fact that the gyroscope is driven by the principle of conservation of angular momentum which applies even in microgravity conditions, making a gyroscope effective even in space.
