Key highlights

Space Inventor presents an advanced customizable microsatellite solution, crafted from modular equipment for tailored missions. Our novel design reduces components, simplifying integration with easy 360° access.

The microsatellite platform is specifically engineered for the Falcon 9 quarter plate payload adapter and can utilize an 8 or 11 inch separation systems from ExoLaunch.

It is designed for reliability, and offers full flexibility to be adapted to specific customer needs. The platform features deployable solar panels for optimal power generation further maximising the capabilities
