Sinclair Interplanetary

“The roll-up spans reaction wheels (Sinclair Interplanetary, $12.34M), flight software (Advanced Solutions, $40M), separation systems (Planetary Systems, $42M), solar cells (SolAero, $80M), missile warning payloads (Geost, $275M), laser comms (Mynaric), and space robotics (Motiv) — nine acquisitions in six years.”

“Sinclair Interplanetary: Toronto-based reaction wheel manufacturer. Acquired by Rocket Lab in April 2020 for $12.34M cash. Now produces over 2,000 reaction wheels per year.”

“We rang up Sinclair Interplanetary at that stage and said, Doug, we need some reaction wheels. Doug said, that's great, Pete. That'll be nine months... So the way to solve that problem is we just went and bought Doug.”
