Reaction Wheels

Low Jitter
Reaction Wheels
Blue Canyon’s line of industry-trusted reaction wheels range from 0.015 Nms to 8.0 Nms of momentum, all featuring advanced lubrication systems for long life and vibration isolation. With more than 2,000 wheels manufactured and hundreds on-orbit, our reaction wheels have supported missions ranging from Very Low Earth Orbit to cislunar and interplanetary journeys.
