Key highlights
The Honeywell Aerospace STC-MS03 is an S-band telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) transceiver designed for space applications.
It is based on software defined radio (SDR) and is designed to allow for fast customization to accommodate customer requirements.
The STC-MS03 is designed with specific attention to power and size to address the limited space and reduced battery capacity of small satellites.
It is compatible with the requirements of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Class-3 flight and was selected to fly in CHEOPS and ESAIL mission.
Key features
