FlatSat access / Hardware-In-the-Loop

Third Planet Orbital offers on-demand access to its FlatSat, which comprises principal components and software but excludes non-functional parts like the structure. This ‘Hardware-In-the-Loop’ capability allows for long or short utilization periods to optimize Design & Development activities, which are crucial for successful missions. The FlatSat is made available with established software integration and core subsystem interfaces, providing a single standardized managed interface. Users can test with physical equipment, eliminating reliance on data sheets and avoiding delays. A secure internet tunnel enables remote access, allowing customers to ‘Try-Before-You-Buy’ and accrue cost efficiencies by renting hardware only for the required duration.
