Pointing and Momentum Control


Honeywell has both the commitment and the capability to provide control moment gyroscope-based momentum exchange systems, pointing and structural controls, and wheel assemblies required for today’s commercial and government satellites.

Control Moment Gyros
Control Moment GyrosHoneywell is the world’s largest supplier of control moment gyroscopes (CMGs). Our CMGs, with both single and double-gimbal configurations available, are reliable solutions for a variety of momentum.

Reaction and Momentum Wheels
Wheel AssembliesHoneywell’s reaction wheel assemblies (RWA) and momentum wheel assemblies (MWA) are reliable, lightweight solutions to a variety of momentum control needs, providing stability and attitude-control.

Momentum Control Systems
Momentum Control SystemsIntegration of Control Moment Gyros (CMGs) and Reaction Wheels Assemblies (RWAs) into turn-key integrated momentum systems are providing improved performance and lower weight and enable reduced spacecraft.

Vibration Isolation
Vibration IsolationSpacecraft structures are unlike any other. They demand complex solutions to reduce the launch loads and on-orbit-induced vibration, thus improving system performance. Honeywell has extensive experience in isolating complete satellites from launch vibration, and in reducing on-orbit disturbances from the bus, the payload, and the momentum control system.

Line of Sight
Line of SightA new Line-of-Sight test bed is enabling Honeywell to support its customers in risk-reduction testing of new dynamic and structural control systems for new satellite programs.

Flexible I/O
Flexible I/OFlexible I/O is a versatile I/O avionics box with the following benefits and features: Provides a flexible and upgradeable interface for multiple spacecraft sub-systems. Ability to interface to multiple analog, digital and processors from a single card.
