Summary

The Space Inventor 6U satellite is a platform configured from modular subsystems suitable for IOD, scientific, educational, BIU and IoT missions.

Each system is equipped with independent radiation shielding, EMI shielding, thermal conduction path, and mechanical support. The iterative development process and integration procedure of Space Inventor facilitates module interchangeability.

The microsatellite platform can be extended with deployable solar panels. The ADCS system provides Nadir or ground tracking. The power generation and solar energy harvesting is optimized by rotating the entire satellite across the bore-axis.

Applications

Educational missions
BIU missions
