The EXA KRATOS 1U spacecraft bus is a 1-step CubeSat solution that allows developers to focus on their payload and mission: it includes everything needed for the spacecraft to work and is VTV tested, allowing developers to simply integrate their payload and fly.

The KRATOS SCB is completely configurable. From a modest, standard CubeSat to a powerful SpaceTaxi in a 1U that can host up to 6 standard payload boards and 3 cameras delivering up to 100W of power, and LASER communications at 10Mbps, it offers satellite builders the ability to configure the system based on what they need to fly their payload.

Specifically, the spacecraft bus includes:

• Onboard computer with pre-installed libraries
• SDR Radio with integrated power amplifier
• Powerful EPS with 4 power rails
• UMPPT Solar management coupled to a fast battery charger
• Deployable Multifunction Solar Arrays
• Automated deploy/release control to up to 4 devices
• Embedded monopole and dipole antennas from VHF to L band
• Embedded magnetorquers
• Temperature and sun sensors in all walls
• ADCS control with integrated Z axis magnetorquer
• High power batteries
• Radiation hardened SSD storage
• LASER communications at 10Mbps minimum

Customers can add or subtract features and expand capabilities accordingly to their project budget. The core principle of the KRATOS 1U spacecraft bus is that customers focus on their mission, and EXA focuses on the spacecraft.

KRATOS 1U spacecraft bus is shipped in a Pelican 1300 Case and includes:

• Full engineering support
• Test reports
• EUDP, ICD
• UN38.3, CoO, MSDS
