About Motor Controllers
Motiv Space Systems designs and delivers advanced motion control solutions for the extreme environments of space. From earth orbit to deep space, to the cryogenic temperatures of the moon we have solutions to get you moving. Motiv’s innovative motor controllers drive everything from robots to deployment mechanisms. In most cases, the controllers can be tailored for your specific environment for radiation and parts pedigree to allow you to rapidly move from the lab to flight with the same architecture – saving you time and money.
Our team at Motiv can tailor all of our products to support any application you have in the extreme environments of space. Learn more about each motor controller below or review a summary of each by comparing key motor controller features and components for use in space and planetary applications.
