GomSpace 6U Platform Kit
GomSpace
The GomSpace 6U Platform Kit reduces time to launch and project risk without compromising performance. The satellite components are based on GomSpace’s portfolio of standard, flight-proven products — integrators add their own mission-specific payload up to 3U dedicated volume. The kit is designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate a wide range of payload applications […]

About
The GomSpace 6U Platform Kit reduces time to launch and project risk without compromising performance. The satellite components are based on GomSpace’s portfolio of standard, flight-proven products — integrators add their own mission-specific payload up to 3U dedicated volume. The kit is designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate a wide range of payload applications for commercial, academic, and government entities. It is delivered as a ‘box of components’ with full documentation and assembly instructions to reach a ready-to-fly state. The 6U Platform Kit uses the same trusted subsystems that scale to 8U, 12U, and 16U within GomSpace’s standardized platform architecture.
