Nano and Micro Satellite Buses - NanoAvionics

Nano and Micro Satellite Buses

NanoAvionics provides flight-proven nanosatellite (from 3U to 16U) and microsatellite (up to 220kg) buses based on modular design and standardized architecture, which allows time and cost-efficient configurations by adding mission-specific modules. NanoAvionics satellite buses are constellation-optimized and can be applied to a wide variety of tasks, including remote sensing, complex communications missions, fundamental research, emergency communications and others.
