Moog Showcases Advanced Satellite Bus Technology at Space Symposium
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a global leader in high-performance precision motion and fluid control systems, is set to present its cutting-edge line of satellite buses at the 40th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs from April 7-10. Attendees are invited to visit booth 1024 to explore models of Moog’s innovative Meteor and Meteorite satellite buses, designed for a wide spectrum of space missions. This year’s exhibition highlights Moog’s commitment to developing advanced spacecraft components and supporting the evolving needs of the space industry.
Meteor: Mission-Configurable Spacecraft Bus
The Meteor bus is a mission-adaptable, propulsive ESPA Grande-class platform, drawing upon seven decades of Moog’s expertise in spacecraft components and subsystems. Its reliability has been validated across diverse missions, ranging from low Earth orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous orbit (GEO) to deep space explorations. Key features include radiation-hardened avionics, adaptable flight software configurable for various payloads and missions, and scalable payload power. The hydrazine propulsion system delivers substantial thrust for maneuvers such as collision avoidance, swift orbit adjustments, and controlled deorbiting. Constructed with a robust, all-aluminum structure derived from Moog’s ESPA design, Meteor offers radiation shielding and accommodates diverse payload configurations. Its adaptable architecture, combined with flight-proven systems and components, positions it as an optimal solution for dynamic space operations.
Expanding Space Mission Capabilities
“We are excited to feature our enhanced Meteor bus, capable of accommodating multiple payloads for a broad spectrum of missions,” stated Bob McArthur, General Manager, Moog Space Vehicles. “It is a testament to our long-standing system and component proficiency, coupled with continuous investment in pioneering solutions tailored for the progressing space industry.”
Recent Meteor Spacecraft Bus Delivery
Moog recently announced the successful delivery of its initial Meteor spacecraft buses for national security space missions, building upon the company’s established track record with Department of Defense and Intelligence Community programs. Moog experts will be available at the Space Symposium to engage with attendees and discuss how Meteor can effectively address specific mission requirements.
Latest Innovations in Space Avionics
In addition to satellite buses, Moog will also showcase its latest advancements in space avionics, including payload graphics processing units and the Cascade High-Performance Space Computing-based Single Board Computer. Moog’s space avionics technologies boast extensive flight heritage across all Earth orbits and deep space, supporting critical mission areas such as:
- Earth observation
- Weather monitoring
- Broadband data communications
- Object tracking and targeting
These technologies encompass radiation-tolerant and radiation-hardened flight computers, high-capacity memory storage, and essential avionics solutions for both government and commercial applications.
Space Symposium: A Global Space Industry Forum
The Space Symposium serves as a premier global forum, uniting leaders from the commercial, governmental, and military space sectors. It facilitates strategic planning for future advancements in space by convening the international space industry community and key decision-makers. The event features informative educational sessions and crucial policy discussions.
