With increasing mission capabilities for small satellites, the demand for accurate and reliable attitude control components for this satellite class is rising. This paper presents Astro- und Feinwerktechnik Adlershof GmbH (AFW) attitude control components including the reaction wheel family, starting from RW1 for Cubesats to the RW260 with up to 12 Nms angular momentum. The performance of the RW90 and the gyro system on the TET-1 satellite mission is discussed and lessons learned derived from observations of the components behavior are presented.
