Top 10 Applications for Actuators in Space
1. Satellite attitude and orbit control Reaction wheels, control moment gyros, and emerging reaction spheres generate torques to point the spacecraft and keep it stable for imaging, communication, and power generation. Small actuators also drive valves and mechanisms in thruster systems for orbit correction and station-keeping. 2. Deployable solar arrays...
