About
The IMT srl CubeSat 6U Platform is a flexible satellite bus using COTS components to enable space missions developed within months at competitive cost. The platform supports body-mounted solar power at 10W peak, up to 50W with deployable panels, and 115W when paired with the IMT µSADA. Battery capacity is 45 Wh or 90 Wh. Pointing accuracy is better than 1 degree (optionally 0.1 degree). Supports multi-band communications including X-band at up to 50 Mbps, and payload interfaces via CAN bus and I2C. Payload mass up to 6 kg and payload volume up to 4U, with regulated power buses at 3.3V, 5V, 12V and unregulated raw buses at 32V or 16V. Operational lifetime is 3 years in LEO.
