Spacecraft Platform Architecture
Our spacecraft buses satisfy the most demanding small satellite missions. With decades of applied research and proven performance, we draw from a baseline set of components for 6U to ESPA-size space vehicles, while allowing variations for mission capability, parts quality, and radiation tolerance. This flexibility enables us to provide highly reliable and cost-effective mission-specific systems for our partners.
