The Innovative Technology Partnerships Office (ITPO) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center inGreenbelt, Maryland, announced the signing of an exclusive production license with Millennium Space Systems of El Segundo, California. <\/p>\n
This exclusive license allows Millennium Space Systems to produce and market NASA Goddard's patented Demisable Integrated Reaction Wheel Assembly (DIRWA) for satellite platforms that can range in mass from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds. Made from aluminum, which has a low melting point, the demisable momentum wheels do not require controlled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, thus reducing the costs for satellite end of life mitigation scenarios. <\/p>\n
For more information on the DIRWA, please contact the NASA Goddard Innovative Technology Partnerships Office at 301-286-5810 or emailtechtransfer@gsfc.nasa.gov<\/a> <\/p>\n DIRWA is one of thousands of NASA technologies available for industry use.
