About Moog Inc
Moog Space, founded in 1951 and headquartered in East Aurora, New York, is a key provider of solutions for the space industry, specializing in the design, development, and manufacture of critical systems and components. While initially focused on propulsion, the company has expanded its portfolio to encompass a broad range of technologies including spacecraft avionics, guidance systems, fluid controls, structures, and environmental control & life support systems (ECLSS).
Moog serves both commercial and government customers, supporting missions ranging from launch vehicles and satellite buses to human spaceflight initiatives, including contributions to NASA’s Space Launch System and future lunar missions.
A core strength lies in Moog’s advanced avionics systems, offering integrated Command and Data Handling (C&DH) and Electrical Power Systems (EPS). The company is actively investing in next-generation technologies such as radiation-hardened computing – exemplified by the Cascade Single Board Computer featuring a RISC-V processor – and additive manufacturing to enhance capabilities and meet evolving mission demands. Beyond electronics, Moog provides mechanical solutions including hexapods for precision payload positioning, spacecraft mechanisms, shock and vibration isolation systems, and structural adapters for various satellite sizes. This diverse offering positions Moog Space as a comprehensive partner for organizations operating across the entire space ecosystem.
Products and product lines
| Product | Line | Note |
|---|---|---|
| METEOR satellite bus | ESPA-Grande class spacecraft bus | Mission-configurable, ESPA Grande-class propulsive satellite platform with radiation-hardened avionics and hydrazine propulsion; Moog shipped its first Meteor buses from its Denver-area facility in 2025 for a Department of Defense/Intelligence Community national-security mission. |
| METEORITE satellite bus | ESPA-class small spacecraft bus | Smaller ESPA-class bus already flying on national-security missions; Moog added a High Delta-V configuration on August 5, 2026 for tactical ISR and space-domain-awareness missions needing high-energy orbital transfers. |
| SL-OMV (Small Launch Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle) | Propulsive orbital tug | Roughly 70 kg dry-mass propulsive tug carrying up to six 12U CubeSats (up to 200 m/s delta-V), built around Moog's BRE440 radiation-hardened CPU and a green-propellant system; part of Moog's Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle family for rideshare and disaggregated LEO missions. |
| Spacecraft propulsion modules | Satellite propulsion | High-velocity propulsion modules -- engines, feed systems and valves -- built at Moog's Niagara Falls, NY facility and integrated onto Meteor buses during 2025 to provide high delta-V agility and mission longevity. |
| Spacecraft avionics (Integrated Avionics Unit / Cascade SBC) | Satellite avionics | Command & Data Handling and Electrical Power System avionics, including the RISC-V-based Cascade Single Board Computer, integrated from Moog's Gilbert, Arizona site onto Meteor/Meteorite buses. |
| ESPA payload adapters | Structural / payload interfaces | Structural hub products spanning ESPA to ESPA-Grande class, also used as the mounting interface for Moog's family of Orbital Maneuvering Vehicles. |
