Large satellites have used this state-of-the-art actuator technology for decades to enable high-agility missions (WorldView 2-3-4, Pléiades, Spot 5-6-7, etc).

We miniaturized it for small satellites applications and made it modular & scalable.
ULTRA HIGH TORQUE/ LOW VOLUME
0.7 Nms Momentum capacity
with 1.1 Nm Torque fitting into a
97 x 97 x 180 mm3 volume. This
performance is 10X a traditional
reaction wheel.
HIGH POWER EFFICIENCY
Each module is using less than
11 W / Nm power efficiency
compared to 50 W / Nm for a
reaction wheel.
SINGULARITY AVOIDANCE
Internal CMG gimbal management to avoid singularities providing a spherical
momentum envelope.
LOW MICRO VIBRATION
5 years lifetime with microvibrations migitation for high pointing stability missions.
