About
The FRAME L is an ESPA-Class microsatellite platform engineered for advanced missions, built for responsive space with the fastest assembly process to date. It features a 24-inch ESPA class chassis size and offers an available payload mass of up to 300 kg, with a volume envelope of at least 1 x 1 x 1 m (SpaceX full plate XL). The platform provides a maximum continuous power of 7 kW and a gross data rate of up to 4 Gbps, standardized for KSAT, LeafSpace, and AWS GSaS networks. It boasts advanced avionics and data processing, a cableless design, and plug-and-play integration, making it modular and reconfigurable even post-AIT. The FRAME L is designed for in-orbit serviceability and includes features like military-grade encryption. It supports demanding payloads such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Hyperspectral Imager (HSI), Very High Resolution (VHR), and High-Throughput Satellite (HTS). The platform also offers a Delta-V capacity of 400-1000 m/sec, depending on configuration. Included with the FRAME L are a Software Development Kit (SDK), a 1-year subscription to SpaceDev, 20 hours of engineering support, and covers delivery, handling, administration, design review, and consulting costs. All EnduroSat products, including FRAME L, undergo stringent space qualification testing.
