About
Umbra Space Systems provides a suite of American-made hardware and internally developed software designed for optimal performance in space missions. The company emphasizes a ‘built for operators, by operators’ philosophy, applying first principles engineering to design and build every component from the ground up based on mission demands. Their flight-proven building blocks are designed in-house, tested on orbit, and trusted for continuous operation in space. The offerings are categorized into four main functions: Power, Control, Communication, and Deployment. The Power systems are engineered for endurance and efficiency, including battery modules, solar arrays, and complete power systems, all proven to extend mission life. Control systems feature precision attitude and maneuvering technology, such as the Magnetorquer 6, reaction wheels, and an MSS package, built for adaptability and stability. Communication solutions include robust and resilient S-band radios and network switches, designed to deliver clarity and speed even in challenging conditions. Finally, Deployment systems offer clean separation and reliable actuation with the SyncRelease 4, ensuring flawless mission initiation. Umbra highlights its differentiator as building and flying its own hardware, providing a proven foundation for customer missions.
