99.5% of satellites are made to look always down to collect Data
Problem
Problem
SATELLITES MISS MOST OF THE TARGETS THEY COULD COLLECT BECAUSE THERE IS JUST NO TECHNOLOGY TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY. It is a missed opportunity.
Our solution
Our solution
We offer the first modular next-gen actuator technology enabling any satellite to be more effective in collecting DAta from targets of interest.

PORTFOLIO
ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS) DESIGN
From Requirements to Simulation and Design.
Our team will support mission analysis, help you define ACS requirements, simulate your required attitude and propose a best ACS design. We will compare different actuator technologies and support you in making the best trade-off.
Assessing Torque, Momentum, Bias & Noise, Microvibrations & Jitter for your Earth Observation / Telecom / etc mission.
Simulate & EVALUATE DESIGN DRIVERS
Based on your pointing requirements, we will simulate Power, Momentum and Torque profiles. We will also provide recommendations on Mass, Interface and Volume for different actuators solutions.
Best Design
We propose a design compliant with your need. With our expertise, we can optimise the balance between agility, complexity and cost.
Final report for engineers and commercial slides for decision makers, including mathematical model for further simulations.
CONTROL MOMENT GYROSCOPE
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).
What is a CMG? Learn more.
We miniaturized it for small satellites applications and made it modular & scalable.
From 0.5 – 2.8 Nms Momentum capacity with 1- 3 Nm Torque fitting into a 100 x 100 x 150 mm volume envelope. This performance is 10X a traditional reaction wheel (e.g. a typical 1 Nms reaction wheel offers only 0.05 Nm Torque).
Each module is using less than 4 W/Nm power efficiency compared to more than 50 W/Nm for traditional wheels.
Internal CMG gimbal management to avoid singularities providing a spherical momentum envelope.
5 years lifetime with microvibrations mitigation for management for high pointing stability missions
Reaction Wheel RW500
High Torque reaction wheel for 35 – 100 kg satellites.
Serving micro satellite missions with a minimum of 5 years lifetime.
Providing a Momentum capacity of 0.5 Nms and offering a Torque of 50 (up to 100) mNm, with a mass of 850 g and volume 97 x 97 x 40 mm.
Optimised for less than 3.5 W at nominal Momentum.
State-of-the-art design: Low magnetic residual, very high radiation shielding, redundant windings, firmware updates in space and regenerative braking.
Based on technology with 36 months accumulated runtime in space and counting.
Reaction WheeL RW50
High Torque reaction wheel for 12-16U satellites.
Serving nano satellite missions with a minimum of 5 years lifetime.
Providing a Momentum capacity of 42 mNms and offering a Torque of 5 mNm, with a mass of 155 g and 50 x 50 x 21 mm volume.
Optimised for less than 350 mW at nominal Momentum.
The rotor is axially suspended between two hybrid ceramic high precision bearings chosen for long life and low friction in extreme conditions.
Based on technology with 36 months accumulated runtime in space and counting.
SCALABLE BY DESIGN
Our product is designed to fit all needs and satellite sizes, scaling your technology as you scale your ambition.

the people behind the vision
“I created VEOWARE to make the space sector fully scalable, helping the generations to come to move forward where we have not been before”.
Julien is a Physics Engineer specialized in aerospace, he worked on small satellites and payload for more than 10 years. He is business savvy and does believe prepared to address new opportunities, sometimes even before they become problems!
“I created VEOWARE to make the space sector more standard and accessible for all”.
Julien is a Physics Engineer with broad engineering experience in the glass, plastic, concrete, and aerospace industries. Building on his experience working on production lines, he took up the challenge to industrialize the production of space equipment & satellites.
CEO, Maerospace corporation, Canada
He has started and grown businesses in space, telecommunications and wireless over the past 25 years. He was a member of senior management at ExactEarth Ltd. from its inception in 2007 until 2013. Eric was instrumental in establishing this spin-off of COMDEV which has deployed a constellation of low-orbit satellites for global ship tracking.
