Satellite platforms compared: 389 models

Complete buses, from single-unit CubeSat kits to geostationary platforms of several tonnes. The median in this table sits around 50 kg — the smallsat class the market has settled on — with the extremes three orders of magnitude apart in both directions.

Figures are taken from manufacturer datasheets and product pages, normalised to common units. Every row links to the product page and, where available, to the datasheet itself. As of 2026-08-13.
