About

Space Inventor’s 8U satellite platform offers advanced performance with the versatility to support high-demand missions. Similar to the 6U in its robust capabilities, the 8U accommodates additional upgrades such as dual star trackers for enhanced pointing accuracy or a thruster for increased manoeuvrability, while retaining generous payload space.

Engineered for fine pointing, high agility and high-speed X-band communication, the 8U platform includes 100 mNms reaction wheels, a star tracker, and dual communication and battery buses for full redundancy, ensuring mission resilience. It is ideal for projects requiring high-performance standards and additional flexibility in mission design, from military and tactical missions to Earth observation, offering microsatellite-grade performance within a CubeSat framework with extra room for mission-critical upgrades. Price shown is for the platform without NRE, propulsion and payload.
