Rocket Lab Space Systems Inc.: federal grants and contributions

Rocket Lab Toronto is a prime global manufacturer of new-space reaction wheels with 1500+ units sold to 70+ spacecraft manufacturing companies around the world. However, all current products are suited for satellites smaller than 400 kg and not suitable for medium-sized telecommunication missions in low-earth or higher orbits which in recent years have seen a significant increase in demand. Through design and development of a reaction wheel with larger angular momentum capacity under this project, Rocket Lab’s Toronto division will expand its reaction wheel products reach to a much larger mar

Rocket Lab Toronto has successfully manufactured and sold ST-16RT2 star trackers to the global small satellite market for 10 years. The ST-16TR2 product is well positioned for low Earth orbit missions, however, it was not designed for missions operating in more severe environments. Following Rocket Labs “careful COTS” approach, this project will undertake research, selection, and tests of commercial components to qualify them for severe environments. These components will be used to develop a new star tracker product suitable for a broader range of environments, increasing the market accessibl
