About
The NanoTorque GSW-600 is a reaction wheel system comprising four compact and high-performance reaction wheels, each qualified for an equivalent of 5 years of in-orbit operations. The product is delivered in a 4-wheel pyramid setup within a mounting bracket. Its envelope is specifically designed to allow for a redundant 4-wheel configuration within the standard CubeSat form factor. This series sets a new industry standard for longevity, engineered for sustained and reliable performance over a 5-year operational lifetime, ensuring consistent satellite attitude control, maximizing mission uptime, and reducing maintenance for demanding commercial and scientific satellite applications. The NanoTorque GSW-600 series is also designed for seamless integration with the NanoTorque GST-600 3-axis magnetorquer, forming a compact, reliable, and efficient solution for precise nanosatellite attitude control, ensuring stability and flexibility throughout the mission.
