We've been awarded R&D funding from @csa_asc to build a new medium-class reaction wheel for larger satellites. Reaction wheels point and steady spacecraft in orbit and ours have delivered 20+ years of flight heritage keeping 300+ missions on target.

In some regards Scopes and Dover were polar opposites. In Scopes, the teaching of Darwinism was banned. In Dover, Darwinism was the favored child, and intelligent design was banned.
