About
The GomSpace 12U Platform Kit offers a ready-to-use satellite platform developed to minimize complexity and accelerate space missions. It is built from GomSpace’s portfolio of standard, reliable, off-the-shelf components, allowing users to integrate their own mission-specific payload. The kit is designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating a wide range of payload applications and leaving up to 9U dedicated for mission-specific purposes. The platform’s architecture is scalable from 6U to 16U, utilizing the same trusted subsystems that GomSpace flies itself, with the structure adapting to fit various mission sizes. It is delivered as a ‘box of components’ with comprehensive documentation and instructions to facilitate assembly into a ‘ready-to-fly’ state. This kit is suitable for both new users with limited experience in space missions and veteran system integrators seeking a high-performance, customizable system, offering expanded mission possibilities with increased payload space.
