Flight heritage

OrbFIX-Core-DB is a bulilding block of OrbFIX:

  • validated in orbit on the EMISAR 1U CubeSat (summer 2026)
  • multiple QM level qualification campaigns:
    • mechanical loads
    • thermal
    • simulated RF operations

Manufacturing

OrbFIX is manufactured, integrated and tested in Europe. 
Besides internal qualification, user agreed qualification campaigns can be optionally performed.

Lead time is typically 4 - 6 weeks for a small number of units.

Testing & qualification

Qualification campaigns:

Multiple qualification activities:

  • 2x QM level campaigns (with multiple DB units per campaign):
    • Mechanical: random, sine, shock;
    • 4 x thermal vacuum cycling:
      • Operational: -30 to +65 oC
      • Storage: -40 to +80 oC
  • RF simulator for performance validation over a multitude of orbits and operational scenarios

Export control

OrbFIX is a European product using European technologies and it is ITAR free. 
OrbFIX is a dual-use item and end-use declaration of no military use and no export to sanction countries needs to be provided. 

Customers

Several worldwide customers and colaborators are using, integrating and evaluating OrbFIX configurations for their missions.
