Key highlights

The Apogeo Space 0.3U IoT Picosatellite is a dedicated, flight-proven spacecraft that lets you build your own satellite IoT network. Its UHF link with native LoRa® support enables direct-to-satellite connectivity, while multi-modulation capability, onboard MRAM and Flash storage and exclusive access to all onboard resources give you full control over how your network operates. Weighing just 0.5 kg and measuring 10 × 10 × 3 cm stowed, it combines deployable triple-junction solar panels and passive gravity-gradient stabilisation in a compact, cost-effective package: the fastest way to put your own IoT infrastructure in orbit.
