About
The CMG 75-75S is the largest unit in Airbus’ CMG range, providing 75 Nm of torque and 75 Nms of momentum storage for satellites up to roughly 3 tonnes. It uses a compact, patented mechanical design combined with advanced vibration dampers to deliver high agility while limiting micro-vibration disturbance to onboard payloads.
It is part of the same qualified CMG product family as the CMG 15-45 and CMG 40-60S, sharing common electronics and control heritage to support fast, precise attitude maneuvers on demanding Earth observation and defence missions.
