CubeSpace Showcases High-Volume Production for Constellation Builders with Rapid Reaction Wheel Output

CubeSpace (CS), a leading supplier of flight-proven satellite control solutions, continues to announce record-setting production milestones that further solidify its position as a trusted partner for constellation builders globally. Over the last several months, CS has maintained a steady manufacturing rate of 40 reaction wheels per week, in parallel with its other product lines and fully tailored ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control) systems. Notably, the company has been able to achieve these consistently high outputs, while maintaining average lead times of under three months.

This strong momentum was especially evident in February, when CS shipped more than 300 ADCS-related products to 20 customers worldwide. These deliveries included over 80 wheels, 40 of which were the larger 0.5Nms (CW0500) model, alongside 27 fully customised ADCS systems. These figures demonstrate CS’s commitment to meeting urgent customer needs while maintaining its ability to offer mission-tailored solutions, something which continues to differentiate it from many of its competitors.

Looking ahead, CS is responding to market demand by expanding its assembly lines to further boost capacity. With efforts focused on technology modularity and industrialisation, in-house production of long lead-time items, and redundant supply chains and automation, CS aims to deliver even greater volumes at lead times of under one month. A notable leap forward in an industry where even minor delays can derail entire missions. This drive to optimise workflows puts CS on course to triple its annual output, giving constellation builders confidence that large orders will be delivered on time, every time.

“Building constellations is a defining challenge for many of our customers,” says Mr. Mike-Alec Kearney, CEO of CubeSpace (CS). “With our enhanced manufacturing processes and proven ability to produce high volumes under tight timelines at repeatable quality, we’re ensuring that our customers can move quickly without sacrificing reliability.”

As the global space sector accelerates the deployment of constellations in low Earth orbit and beyond, CS stands ready to serve as a dependable partner, one offering robust, mission-ready subsystems that keep satellites on track, on schedule, and ahead of their competition.

CubeSpace (CS) is a globally recognised leader in Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS), supporting over 250 customers in more than 30 countries. Leading in ADCS innovation and cutting-edge solutions, CS is a trusted supplier to major space agencies like NASA and ESA, as well as a majority of constellation primes and ambitious commercial satellite builders. Supporting customers from design through to commissioning, CS is setting a new gold standard for control systems globally.
