Features

The new reliable low-disturbance reaction wheel assembly Type M-A (large size) was developed based on original Type M. The major design modifications are improvement in output torque from 0.1 Nm (Type M) to 0.2 - 0.4 Nm (Type M-A), and improvement in mechanical environment tolerance for random vibration.

Applications

Reaction wheel is an attitude control actuator for 3-axis stabilization of spacecraft.
Type M-A covers a storage momentum range from 10 Nms to 30 Nms for large- and medium- size spacecraft.
