6U CubeSat / Nanosatellite M6P

Today, a 6U CubeSat is a high-performance, reliable, and versatile system, unlocking new capabilities for commercial Earth observation and communication applications, governments, national security, and space science. NanoAvionics’ standard M6P nanosatellite bus, with Light, Mid, and Max configurations, offers ample payload mass and performance for single-satellite missions or constellations.

The M6P offers industry-leading flight heritage in Earth observation, remote sensing, 5G IoT communications, and many other technology and commercial demonstrations. Its pre-configured onboard systems, built on CubeSat design specifications, and its CubeSat structure make integration quick and easy, allowing you to focus on your payload performance.

With robust components, radiation testing, and quality assurance, our 6U satellite buses ensure your mission’s reliability in low Earth orbit. NanoAvionics can also help you with radio frequency licensing, launch procurement using leading launch service providers, and in-orbit operations through our 24/7 mission operation center and our partners’ global ground station networks.
