About
The Alén Space platforms are CubeSat buses developed with extensive experience in small satellite manufacturing. Available in 1U, 2U, 3U, 6U, 12U, and 16U sizes, these platforms are manufactured using high-quality processes and are designed for quick integration with payloads. They aim to accelerate the development time for individual nanosatellite projects or small satellite constellations. The platforms feature an Alén Space OBSW operating system, up to 64 GB of on-board storage, and AES256 security. Communication capabilities include VHF and UHF TTC bands across all models, with S-Band optional for 2U, 3U, and 6U, and X-Band optional for 3U and 6U. Propulsion is optional for 3U and 6U platforms. The design lifetime for all platforms is 3-5 years. Custom adaptations and developments are available for specific project needs.
