The NewSpace Systems (NSS) magnetorquer rod designs are TRL 9 with extensive in-orbit heritage. First flown in 2014, since then, NSS has become one of the largest magnetorquer rod manufacturers globally, having sold over >7000 rods to a variety of international missions and constellation programmes, all with differing performance requirements. To date, the NSS magnetorquer rods are baselined on >10 constellation programmes.
- Spacecraft orbital stability
- De-saturation of Reaction Wheels
- De-tumbling
