The first six RW-1.0 reaction wheels have completed acceptance testing, and have begun to ship out to customers today.  We are quite proud of this development.  While the conceptual idea for a high torque 1 Nms wheel has been around for some time, detailed design of this product only began in February of 2012.  Less than 7 months later qualified flight hardware is going out the door.

 

We're going to take a breather over the Labour Day long weekend, and then get back to clearing the backlog of star trackers and smaller reaction wheels from the order book.
