About
The SXC6 platform is a multipurpose, combinable set of onboard service systems and structural elements for a 6U CubeSat, compatible with any payload conforming to the SXC6 ICD. The “Basic” (SXC6-VOL) modification is the simplest configuration, with minimal service systems maximizing payload volume: power supply system with battery, UHF transceiver with patch and deployable dipole antennas, and an electromagnetic angular-velocity-damping system. Supplied: assembled SXC6 platform, transportation case, USB cable, charger.
