About
The Nanosatellite Platform is a compact modular bus designed to control the separation of spacecraft and provide offline monitoring of their status in orbit. Applications include Earth remote sensing, detection of earthquake precursors and disaster prevention, calibration and adjustment of space monitoring devices, and space debris monitoring. The platform can be built in several configurations: a simple Attitude Control System (ACS) with 3 magnetic torquers (MTs); an enhanced ACS with 3 MTs, a star tracker and 3 reaction wheels; or a maneuvering platform fitted with a micro thruster. It uses radiation-resistant components throughout and can be adapted to customer requirements. First released in 2020, with an estimated production/delivery time of 18 months.
