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.
