About
The Multipurpose Block-Modular Platform is an ultra-low-class spacecraft platform available in CubeSat form-factor, suitable for nano- and picosatellites. It is intended for scientific, educational, and technological experiments in space, as well as for the development of engineering solutions for nanosatellites. The platform, released in 2015, has a guaranteed service life of 5 years and an estimated production/delivery time of 16 months. It is adaptable to customer requirements. The platform is designed as a constructor for assembling nanosatellites from 1U to 12U CubeSat form-factor, with module dimensions of 100x100x100 mm. Key features include a leaky design, a passive thermal control system, duplicated on-board subsystems with independent power supply, optical commutation subsystems, and standard sensors and M-frames. For technological models, equipment in simplified versions is possible. The onboard subsystems comprise the “Hydra” on-board control complex (a miniature single-board computer), the “Polymorph” on-board radio complex (an SDR with two independent transmit/receive channels), and the “Inter” telemetric control system. The “Inter” system generates CCSDS telemetry from various sensors, including temperature, infrared, MEMS three-axis accelerometer-gyroscope-magnetometer, radiation, and emission recorder. An “Vortex” orientation and stabilization system is also included, which determines position in space using an optical sensor and GPS/GNSS, and manages M-frames and gyrodynes. The product is currently in the stage of manufacturing prototypes and conducting autonomous tests.
