About
The IOS TubeSat Kit is the super low-cost alternative to the CubeSat, using an icosagon-shaped cross section with a maximum mass of 0.75 kg, assembled with custom-printed circuit boards and precision laser-cut aluminum components. The TubeSat 3.0 generation requires no drilling, tapping, or soldering and can be built in under 15 minutes. It serves engineering/science professionals, educational institutions, and hobbyist experimenters, and has flight heritage via TuPOD deployment from the ISS Kibo Module. TubeSat 3.0 is available with or without launch to a 310 km polar orbit aboard Interorbital’s NEPTUNE launch vehicle.
