CubeSat Reaction Wheels RW0

CubeSat Reaction Wheels RW0

The minimum order quantity for this subsystem is 4 pieces.

NanoAvionics has designed reaction/momentum wheels (RW) which enables precision pointing of the small satellite.

Reaction wheels include DC brushless motors assembled in sealed housing providing no particle emissions and preventing contamination of peripheral devices.
