About
DIY Satellite provides a complete, door-to-orbit mission service built around the PocketQube form factor (5×5×5 cm per unit). The service package covers the full mission lifecycle: mission architecture and subsystem definition, hardware integration and validation, deployer coordination with global launch providers, and post-launch telemetry and communications support.
Pricing starts at approximately USD 15,000 per mission, with total cost varying based on launch provider, spacecraft complexity, payload requirements, and mission objectives. DIY Satellite’s own DIY-1 mission provided orbital flight heritage, validating the baseline platform in real space conditions. The first commercial customer deployment campaigns are scheduled for mid-2026.
The proprietary PocketQube Deployer System, independently qualified and validated by DIY Satellite, provides the standardized mechanical deployment mechanism for customer spacecraft. Target customers include universities, startups, and research laboratories seeking a realistic, low-cost on-ramp to orbit without the overhead of building full in-house satellite development capability. The company is based in Argentina and operates with a globally accessible mission support stack.
