About
Corvus-XL is a larger member of Astro Digital’s Corvus bus family, used for the DARPA Mandrake-2 mission consisting of twin satellites demonstrating optical inter-satellite links built with SA Photonics payloads. The bus carries the same 3-axis ADCS suite as other Corvus platforms plus both electric propulsion and a monopropellant chemical thruster, giving it significantly more on-orbit maneuvering capability than the smaller Corvus-Micro bus.
