Blue Canyon Technologies

From control moment gyroscopes to the XACT-15, our wide range of arcsecond-class guidance, navigation and control systems, based on our ultra-low jitter reaction wheels, enable precision synthetic aperture radar and electro-optical remote sensing missions. #smallsats #minisats #microsats #cubesats #components #aerospace #space #spacetechnology #spacetechexpo #SAR #EOIR

Earlier this year, FSO Instruments announced that the Commissariat for Military Production of the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate and Raytheon intend to collaborate on the development, build and launch of a satellite which will support the Netherlands Armed Forces. The effort is part of Raytheon's Industrial Participation commitment to the Netherlands. FSO Instruments is proud to be a leading contributor to this initiative, working closely together with U.S.-based partners Axient and Blue Canyon Technologies, as well as VDL Enabling Technologies Group (ETG) of the Netherlands. The project will support the realization of the ambitions of the Dutch government to establish sovereign capabilities in space with satellites built in the Netherlands, supported by FSO Instruments’ fast and reliable laser satellite communications solutions. The effort leverages the rapidly developing ecosystem for the space industry that is being realized in the Netherlands. Blue Canyon will be providing its industry-trusted Saturn-200 bus platform to support the advancement of the European Union through this important partnership.

MethaneSAT is a satellite developed and funded by an environmental nonprofit organization. The Environmental Defense Fund looked to our Saturn-200 bus platform to deliver a #methane data revolution, detecting both small and large sources of methane pollution to drive reductions quickly. This is just one of many groundbreaking missions supported by Blue Canyon Technologies. When it comes to small satellite solutions, we have unrivaled heritage: ? Blue Canyon made its first flight hardware delivery in 2013, giving us more than a decade of experience solving some of the toughest challenges in space. ? For the last two years, Blue Canyon Technologies has produced more than 2,000 products each year, which brings us to the following lifetime milestones for flight components: 2,500+ reaction wheels, 1,600+ sun sensors, nearly 500 batteries, 500+ star trackers and 200+ GNC systems. ? Blue Canyon’s industry-leading bus platforms have resulted in 150 spacecraft orders. From our XB1 avionics to the 200-kg payload mass capability of our Saturn-class minisatellite, our line of spacecraft has supported every mission segment – from interplanetary exploration to weather mapping and SAR constellations with 24 / 7 Earth observation. ? With 75 spacecraft launched to-date, Blue Canyon has an impressive flight heritage of 115+ years on-orbit for spacecraft, nearly 200 years for turnkey GNC systems and 2,300 years of components. Our components and bus platforms have completed missions ranging from very-low Earth orbit, LEO, GEO, Cislunar and to an interplanetary journey. Image provided by BAE Systems, Inc.

Today, we thank our veterans and commit to standing by them in every season of their journey. Honoring Veterans Day is about more than recognizing the incredible courage and sacrifice of those who serve—it’s about acknowledging our responsibility to support the warfighter every step of the way, in and out of uniform. Our veterans face unique challenges during and after their service, especially in terms of mental health. Blue Canyon Technologies Technical Advisor and co-founder Dan Hegel is an executive producer of the award-winning independent film, "The Keeper." Based on a true story, the film follows a special group of military veteran hikers who help a fellow vet battle depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal tendencies as he hikes the Appalachian Trail. To learn more about how Blue Canyon Technologies is supporting the warfighter with our industry-trusted spacecraft bus platforms and components, visit bluecanyontech.com.
