Key highlights
Space Inventor’s 16U satellite stands as the highest-performing CubeSat in our portfolio, with proven flight heritage from missions in both Geostationary and Low Earth Orbits. Designed for advanced missions including Space Situational Awareness, bring-into-use, and rendezvous, it delivers exceptional reliability and performance.
Equipped with cutting-edge Attitude and Orbit Control System (AOCS) technology, this satellite provides high-precision pointing, remarkable agility, and a powerful momentum capacity of 100 mNms, supported by a torque capability of 20 mNm. The 16U platform offers configuration flexibility, accommodating payloads of up to 12U depending on orbit requirements. Its robust design supports payloads with strict demands for low micro-vibrations, precise pointing accuracy, and resilience against the harsh conditions of geostationary orbit.
Ideal for national security, observation, communications, and rendezvous missions, this satellite delivers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing reliability or performance.
