The NewSpace Systems (NSS) Reaction Wheel product range is extensively qualified and based on a robust design with significant in-orbit heritage. The T065 wheel, which first flew in 2014, has more than 3 million failure free hours in-orbit with no reported SEUs. Since then, NSS has expanded its wheel range and now offers custom wheel solutions. With an order book of >800 wheels sold, and wheels base lined on 4 constellation programmes, the NSS wheels have become a preferred choice for longer lifetime missions and constellation programmes.
