This week, we’re celebrating another major milestone for the Blue Canyon Technologies reaction wheel product line – the 10-year anniversary of our expanded life test campaign. To demonstrate long-term reliability, 18 low-jitter reaction wheels of varying sizes have undergone continuous life testing in a hard-vacuum thermal environment since 2016. The testing subjects the wheels to a 24-hour torque profile accumulating thousands of zero crossings annually. Over a decade of operation, the units have proven their extreme longevity by maintaining stable orbit-average spin rates and consistent drag torque.
