Summary
The Kongsberg NanoAvionics MP42D is a Microsatellite bus designed for space applications.
With an integrated setup and a versatile available payload footprint of 730(L) x 730(W) x 600(H)* mm (which can be utilized in many different ways, provided the total satellite height doesn’t exceed the launch vehicle’s allowable volume) the MP42D uses a 24″ ESPA-class separation ring and has a variety of launch options.
The MP42D comes equipped with a propulsion system to enable the satellite to perform high-impulse maneuvers such as orbital deployment and maintenance, precision flying, orbit synchronization, and atmospheric drag compensation.
NanoAvionics offers three standard MP42D microsatellite performance configurations – Light, Mid, and Max – providing options that best match customers’ payload, mission objectives, and budget.
Key features
- Total empty bus mass: from 70 kg (depends on configuration)
- Maximum satellite mass: 220 kg* (depends on configuration and Payload Mass Properties)
- MP42D Payload Envelope: 740 x 730 x 500* mm (*satellite height is highly adjustable to customers' payload requirements, up to 1300 mm)
- MP42D Bus is already pre-integrated (mechanically, electrically, and functionally tested) and pre-qualified to be ready for instant payload integration. Therefore, final flight acceptance and flight readiness procedures are minimized for the Customer
- The default operation of MP42D Bus during satellite mission is implemented at the command level by execution of uploaded scripts
- A sophisticated mission code can be prepared by the NanoAvionics team according to separately agreed terms and conditions
