🚀 WHY WE NEED INNOVATION IN REACTION WHEELS NOW 🚀 Reaction wheels have been crucial in stabilizing satellites and telescopes for decades, but fundamentally, they haven’t changed much in the last 40–50 years. Yet these devices still bring risks that can derail entire missions — even for NASA. The recent SPHEREx mission narrowly avoided a significant delay due to issues with its reaction wheels, highlighting just how vulnerable we still are to mechanical failures. At Magma Space, we believe it’s time to rethink the traditional reaction wheel. Our MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED REACTION WHEEL aims to solve these long-standing challenges. By eliminating the ball bearings — the leading cause of vibration, wear, and failure — we achieve up to a 95% REDUCTION IN VIBRATION and dramatically increase reliability. For mission-critical applications, this means less risk, smoother performance, and a longer lifespan. As space missions become more complex and require higher precision, the industry needs to catch up with the demands of modern space dynamics. Our magnetic reaction wheels are a step in that direction, designed to elevate satellite stability and enable new levels of accuracy and agility. It’s time for the next generation of reaction wheels — it’s time for Magma Space. 🔗 Check out this article for more on the SPHEREx mission and its close call with reaction wheels: https://lnkd.in/gxr2xAnY #SpaceInnovation #SatelliteTechnology #NewSpace #SpaceExploration #AerospaceEngineering #MagneticTechnology #ReactionWheels #MagmaSpace

SSC’s first ever Pervasive Technology Expo Day is in the books. Big thanks to SpaceWERX and DTI for helping put this together. Thanks to all the presenters, Primes, and investors! Primes: L3Harris Technologies BAE Systems Northrup Grumman Advanced Systems Maxar Technologies Moog Inc. RTX Investors: Techstars Starburst Ventures Balerion Space Ventures Generational Partners Small Businesses (to include presenters) : TURION SPACE Phase Four VXB Aerospace Areté Viridian Space Corporation Enduralock South8 Morpheus Space Thermasat GATE Space Proteus Space Magma Space Atomic-6 City Labs American Lithium Energy (ALE) The goal was to foster collaboration with small business and Primes to incorporate cross cutting technologies. Twelve small businesses and entrepreneurs presented their pervasive capabilities (Propulsion systems, Low SWAP-C electronics and structures, mission autonomy, and power) to nearly 70 diverse attendees composed of Defense Prime contractors, Government Program Office representatives, venture capitalists, and other potential customers. This included company displays and private breakout rooms to encourage technology transition.

It’s official: we are now an AFWERX STTR Phase 2 awardee!! This $1.8M grant will allow us to continue developing our core technology—a magnetically levitated reaction wheel for superior satellite stability and pointing—and bring it closer to a final product. We’re excited to collaborate with amazing partners like MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Stellar Solutions, and Moog Inc. on this project. Over the past few months, we’ve been able to engage with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Space Systems Command, and it's rewarding to see that hard work pay off! A special thanks to Col. Nate D. and Dr. Roberta Ewart (as well as Kevin Plascencia, Cody Bronkar, Peter Lai and Elozor Plotke, MSEE, PE, ESEP) for their unwavering support and encouragement, and to the entire BZY team at SSC for their swift assistance in identifying the right signatories and getting the MOU signed. The SSC Front Door has proven to be an incredible tool for small businesses, and it works like a charm! Now, there’s no time to waste—we’re eager to bring this technology to the next generation of DoD missions to enhance our national security. 🚀 🛰 💪 #DOD #NASA #SSC #USSF #SpaceForce #SpaceInnovation #GNC #SatelliteNavigation #PrecisionPointing #SatelliteInnovation #SpaceTech #SpaceEngineering #FutureOfSpace #NationalSecurity #ReactionWheels #MagLev
