Veoware

Veoware is a Belgian space technology company, a KU Leuven space spin-off, that builds satellite actuator technology: modular control moment gyroscopes (CMGs), reaction wheels, clusters and steering software, engineered in Europe. Its control moment gyroscopes have been validated by ESA. The company says its modular actuators give any satellite up to 10 times the maneuvering agility of traditional reaction wheels.

Products

• Control moment gyroscopes for 50 to 700 kg spacecraft, with 10 times the torque of reaction wheels: the microCMG, miniCMG and mediumCMG
• Reaction wheels for 12U to 200 kg satellites, space qualified with low microvibration: WHL-1000, WHL-500, WHL-200 and WHL-100
• Precision gimbal mechanisms for CMG orientation control and mechanical pointing accuracy: miniGimbal-2X and miniGimbal-1X
• A turn-key steering system that drives a full CMG cluster across all three axes

What agility delivers

• Faster revisit of targets through agile maneuvering, reducing gaps between observations
• Up to four times more images per orbit pass by rapidly retargeting between points of interest
• Stereo imaging, multi-strip collection and other advanced Earth observation scenarios that traditional actuators cannot support
• For a 500 kg class imaging satellite, a pyramid mini CMG configuration with enough torque to re-orient several degrees per second
