About us

ASTROFEIN – Precision in Space. ASTROFEIN, a SME based in Berlin Germany, develops, produces and tests components and systems for space. We focus on small satellites, attitude control, structures, mechanisms and payloads. The comprehensive knowledge, expertise and experience of the employees ensure the highest quality.

ASTROFEIN is one of the world's leading manufacturers of reaction wheels. The ASTROFEIN RW Family can be categorized in 4 groups: CubeSatLine, SmallSat Line, Torque Line for SmallSats and a HighLine.
Our Reaction Wheel Family comprises at the current point in time 14 different wheels addressing different performance requirements and and thus satellite sizes and different orbits.

ASTROFEIN produces the Ferrari among the Deployer (to quote one of our customers) - our ASTROFEIN PicoSatellite Launcher (PSL). Our PSL family consists of the PSL1U, PSL2U, PSL3U, PSL6U, PSL6U XL, PSL12U, PSL12U XL and the PSL16U.

ASTROFEIN follows highest quality standards: Our processes are certified according to DIN EN 9100:2018.

ASTROFEIN Reaction Wheel Family

The Future is digital. ASTROFEIN’s Reaction Wheels are smart RWs. They relieve the attitude control data processing unit and the satellite’s attitude control engineering team. So, they are performing tasks that were so far part of the attitude control system of the satellite, tasks which are related to controlling and monitoring the reaction wheel.

ASTROFEIN’s smart RWs are characterized by
• A Digital interface
• An Internal monitoring and protective mechanism
• A Model based controller

ASTROFEIN RW6000 - 100 Nms @4200rpm; 0.2 Nm nominal reaction torque; design lieftime: > 15.5 years
