Overview
Our ultra-low disturbance reaction wheels deliver long-life performance and vibration isolation features. With more than 3,300 wheels manufactured and hundreds on-orbit, our reaction wheels have supported missions ranging from very low Earth orbit to cislunar and interplanetary journeys. Nearly 1,200 Blue Canyon reaction wheels have launched, supporting numerous successful customer missions in dynamic environments. Thorough testing in vibration, thermal and radiation hardening have made the Blue Canyon reaction wheel a highly dependable product for satellite systems with demonstrated lifespans of five to ten years, depending on wheel size. In addition, our suite of reaction wheels recently surpassed 26 million hours of on-orbit operations.
