MicroCMG
Overview
VEOWARE is developing the next generation of high-agility attitude control actuators for small satellites. Our solutions are modular, scalable, and are a viable alternative to the traditional reaction wheel. Please find enclosed a Product Sheet of our Micro Control Moment Gyroscope (Micro CMG), which is one of our flagship ACS actuators offering up to 10X maneuvering agility.

- Summary
- Our team exists to make the most complex systems easier to use and available to all types of customers. Our scalable standard products address our customer’s needs rapidly and they no longer need to wait for custom-made solutions. The technology that we are developing for our longer term ambitions has raised more interest than we ever thought. Our first product is a Micro CMG. Large satellites have used this actuator technology for decades. We miniaturized it for small satellites applications and made it modular & scalable. A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an attitude control unit (actuator) consisting of a spinning rotor (also referred as a fly wheel) and one or more motorized gimbals that tilt the rotor’s angular momentum. As the rotor tilts, the changing angular momentum causes a gyroscopic torque that rotates the spacecraft.
