About

Space Inventor’s 12U CubeSat features modular subsystems for customizable configurations to meet various operational needs. It is equipped with an electric propulsion system and four 100 mNms reaction wheels, providing exceptional manoeuvrability and control, and supports advanced pointing accuracy with optional dual star trackers (10-20 arcseconds) and six fine sun sensors, making it suitable for missions requiring precise attitude control such as Earth observation, rendezvous and tactical communication.

With payload volumes of 6-8 units and a payload mass capacity of 6-9 kg, the 12U offers ample space for larger or more complex payloads while maintaining the high agility and fine pointing capabilities typical of smaller platforms. An X-band high-speed downlink at 100 Mbps, coupled with up to 64 GB of data storage, ensures rapid and efficient data handling.

This platform delivers microsatellite-typical performance within a CubeSat framework, suited for scientific, military or commercial missions. Price shown is for the platform without NRE, propulsion and payload.
