Summary
The RWA05 by Berlin Space Technologies is a reaction wheel assembly for small satellites with integrated fibre optical gyro. The integrated gyro enables precise speed, angular rate and position control loops as they have been pioneered on Berlin satellites since 1994. The RWA05 comes in two versions: a high-torque and a low-torque variant.
