About

JANSPER acquires telecommunication commands, monitors the reaction wheel’s sensors, analyzes collected data, and controls the wheel’s motor accordingly. Reaction wheels store and release kinetic energy to reorient a satellite, reducing the amount of onboard propellant fuel needed for attitude control. EREMS was fully responsible for the development, manufacturing, and qualification of the JANSPER equipment.
