About
The Corvus Bus Platform is Astro Digital’s modular satellite bus family, scaling from 6U CubeSat form factors up to ESPA-Class spacecraft and supporting orbits from low Earth orbit to geostationary orbit. More than 35 Corvus-derived satellites have been flown, with 10 missions currently operating on orbit, giving the platform substantial flight heritage across earth observation, communications, and technology demonstration missions. Astro Digital pairs the bus family with full mission design, program management, and its own mission control center and ground network, positioning Corvus as a turnkey option for operators who want to accelerate satellite programs without building spacecraft engineering capability in-house.
