Space exploration is undergoing a new renaissance, with thousands of new satellites planned. Motion systems that meet both the extreme demands of space and the realities of the marketplace will be key to winning the space race. Kollmorgen understands the challenges of designing for space and defense applications — from ground stations to launch vehicles to satellites to Lunar and Mars rovers. This webinar will explore how to create motion systems that are optimized for efficiency, form factor, and the thermal dynamics of space to maximize performance and mission success.
Join us to learn:
- How to incorporate motion into your space-based applications
- Design considerations for reliable motor performance in LEO (low Earth orbit)
- Ways to maximize torque in the most space-efficient form factor
- Tips for achieving powerful, smooth, accurate azimuth and elevation control for your ground systems
