Key highlights

The Blue Canyon Technologies range of Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) are built to provide your spacecraft with expanded agility necessary to navigate a successful mission.

BCT CMGs offer improved torque performance at lower power consumption versus reaction wheels. Leveraging BCT Reaction Wheel technology, the CMGs provide low-jitter and long-life performance for your mission.

 

CONTROL AND DRIVE ELECTRONICS

Flexible interface options include discrete CMG torque and momentum control to fully integrated spacecraft attitude control systems using up to 4 CMGs.
