A powerful 16U platform can provide high levels of performance, flexibility, and redundancy for advanced payloads. Modern space missions and services require these characteristics in order to create profitable ventures that meet the demanding requirements of today’s clients and end-users.
NanoAvionics’ 16U satellite buses are designed to provide a pre-integrated and pre-qualified platform that is fully tested electrically, functionally, and mechanically for a faster and simpler setup. A single fault-tolerant version, called the M16P-R, is also available and has been developed to eliminate single point failures, increasing reliability and redundancy.
The M16P has available payload volume of up to 15U, for payloads with a mass of up to 16.5kg, while the M16P-R has 12U of available payload volume and a maximum payload mass of 15kg. Extended payload availability enables mission designers to focus on the most important aspects of their innovation, such as primary payload development and configuration.
Versatility and durability are also very important features of today’s missions. Customer requirements and operational conditions can change rapidly, sometimes requiring satellites to reposition or maneuver to avoid risks or for optimized performance. Such adaptability makes the NanoAvionics M16P platforms suitable for use in both single-satellite missions and constellations.
The standardized M16P configuration, with or without propulsion, makes it adaptable to a variety of both common and specialized applications, including:
- Earth imaging initiatives such as Earth Observation (EO) and research projects,
- Tracking and monitoring services such as Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) systems,
- Satcom and connectivity applications, such as communications and emergency services, and
- Industrial process monitoring, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services.
The system is fully tested and pre-qualified for rapid flight acceptance and also features sample mission code so that diagnostics can be run upon delivery. NanoAvionics has built every aspect of this 16U system with the industry’s needs firmly in mind at all stages.
