Summary
The Space Inventor Microsatellite is a customizable platform configured from modular subsystems and is available for geostationary orbit missions. The platform integration by design provides 360° access to all the internal systems.
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 platform is configured for geostationary orbit by reducing the payload capacity and link speed. 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.
