RW-9000 Reaction Wheel

Reaction Wheels are used in the spacecraft to provide high accuracy attitude (pointing) control. By increasing or decreasing speed, the reaction wheel forces the spacecraft to rotate in the opposite direction, allowing the spacecraft to point at specific targets to take images or transmit data to the ground.
