About
Spacemanic offers a family of modular CubeSat satellite platforms scaled across three configuration classes: 1U–3U, 6U–8U, and 12U–16U, allowing customers to select a bus size matched to mission payload and objectives. Platforms can be launched either as a dedicated mission or via rideshare, enabling affordable multi-satellite launch campaigns. The platforms are supported by Spacemanic’s full mission services stack, including satellite design tailored to mission objectives using engineering expertise and simulations, research and development to identify optimal mission solutions, and preflight environmental and functional testing including vibration qualification and thermal vacuum (TVAC) qualification. Spacemanic also arranges launch campaigns and provides ground station services with satellite tracking accurate to under 0.1°, telemetry decoding software, and signal reception integration, as well as stratospheric flight services. Flight heritage includes satellites built on Spacemanic platforms and technology such as LASARsat (1U CubeSat testing laser technology for satellite repair and debris mitigation), CroCube (first Croatian satellite, built with Croatian volunteers), and GRBBeta (2U satellite launched on the Ariane 6 maiden flight).
