About
Renegade is based on the previous Trestles platform, with significant heritage in orbit, and can be easily customized as a 16U spacecraft. It shares the same avionics and GNC algorithms as the rest of Terran Orbital’s satellite line but allows more room for power storage than the other nano and microsatellite platforms. Renegade meets the requirements for ‘rail’-based dispensers, including those sold by Terran Orbital, and has a compact tri-fold solar array providing more power to a payload than what is often available in this form factor.
Key benefits: exceptional available payload volume for its size, allowing complex operational systems; platform extendable from 12U to 16U for exceptionally long payloads; can accommodate up to a 19cm diameter optical imager; based on hardware with significant flight heritage.
Baseline modules included: Flight Computer, Backplane, 12V Battery Modules (3), 12V MPPT (2), 12V Load Controller (1), Coarse Sensors (2), Star Trackers (2), GPS, Magnetorquers (3), Reaction Wheels (3), LDRR Radio, MDR Radio, IMU (1).
