microCMG

Large satellites have used this state-of-the-art actuator technology for decades to enable high-agility missions. 
We have miniaturized this technology with the European Space Agency for small satellites applications and made it modular & scalable. 
Our Control Moment Gyroscopes are now in orbit since April 2023 and offer 10X performance compared to traditional reaction wheels, inclduing internal CMG gimbal management to avoid singularity avoidance.

Key features

icon
Plug & Play
VEOWARE provides a turnkey solution including the software to steer any CMG cluster, making it easy-to-use for any attitude control system.
icon
High Power Efficiency
Each module is using less than 11 W / Nm power efficiency compared to 50 W / Nm for a reaction wheel.
icon
Singularity Avoidance
Internal CMG gimbal management to avoid singularities providing a spherical momentum envelope.
icon
Ultra High Torque / Low Volume
0.7 Nms Momentum capacity with 1.1 Nm Torque fitting into a 97 x 97 x 189 mm³ volume. This performance is 10X a traditional reaction wheel.
icon
