InnaLabs® have announced that their gyroscopes have reached 2,500,000 hours of operation in orbit.

76 gyros in 19 satellites, with some units in operation for almost 6 years, continue to fly with no failure or degradation of performance, highlighting the robustness of the company’s CVG technology to the space environment.

The ARIETIS is a deep space rad hardened 3 Axis Gyroscope using Hi Rel class 1 components. Its main applications are LEO, MEO, GEO, telecom and exploration missions. ARIETIS is developed and qualified as per ESA standards (ECSS), meeting the most stringent quality requirements and space industry standards.

The ARIETIS NS is a radiation tolerant space gyro that uses upscreened COTS electronics components. It offers similar performance to ARIETIS, but it is industrialised to allow for higher production rates and lower cost. ARIETIS-NS is intended for LEO, GEO, and exploration missions. Its high production rate makes it ideal to support constellations and mega-constellations.
