Description of design, development, and manufacture of four reaction wheels and achieved characteristics; it is shown that state-of-art in attitude control using inertia wheels has been significantly increased by development of reaction wheels driven by brushless d-c motors; reaction wheels provide more inertia per pound than systems that are currently being used for satellite attitude control; summary of recommendations made to further develop reaction wheels by increasing performance and reliability and decreasing weight and size.
