Satellite Actuator Technology

Empowering satellites with next gen agility

Modular next-gen actuator technology enabling any satellite to collect more data from targets of interest. 10x maneuvering agility over traditional reaction wheels.

Trusted by Leading Space Organizations

Built for more capable missions

Lower Revisit Time

Satellites revisit targets faster with agile maneuvering, reducing gaps between observations.

See use cases

Increase Target Collection

Collect up to 4x more images per orbit pass by rapidly retargeting between points of interest.

See use cases

Enable Smarter Imaging

Unlock stereo imaging, multi-strip collection, and advanced EO scenarios not possible with traditional actuators.

See use cases

Agility Solutions

Solutions

Control Moment Gyroscopes give a small satellite far more agility and torque than reaction wheels, but they need a smarter control layer to tame. Our turn-key steering system drives a full cluster across all three axes, so you don't have to.


Move Coverage

Multi-Strip Imaging

A satellite equipped with a cluster of control-moment gyroscopes provides the necessary control authority to reorient the spacecraft between target acquisition and collection. A satellite of 100 kgm^2 of inertia is being considered for the following use case,

Multi-Strip Imaging

More coverage - Single pass

Scan wider. Slew between every target.

Pyramid Mini CMG configuration gives a 500 kg class imaging satellite the torque to re-orient several degrees per second, capturing target after target without excessive wait time waiting for the spacecraft.

Scan wider. Slew between every target.
