Capability profile
Rocket Lab's Toronto operation develops digitally controlled, vacuum-lubricated reaction wheels for satellite attitude control and is extending the family to higher-momentum units for medium-sized spacecraft.
Satellite attitude-control reaction wheel
Reviewed connections
Reaction wheels are enabling components for stable pointing of Earth-observation and communications satellites, but the public Canadian project is not tied to an Arctic sensor, constellation or mission.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.
