6U Nanosatellite Bus M6P
Get Access to NanoAvionics Product Catalog with Tech Specs
Today’s 6U CubeSats are high-performance, reliable, and versatile systems that are unlocking a wealth of new capabilities for forward-thinking mission designers. Such innovation requires a stable, proven, and user-friendly platform in order to maximize value creation in orbit. The NanoAvionics M6P nanosatellite bus has three standard performance configurations – Light, Mid and Max – that have been specifically designed to meet these criteria, while ensuring a significant amount of available payload space, and is equally well-suited for single-satellite missions or constellations.
The M6P’s onboard systems are flight-proven and are pre-configured, to simplify and speed up integration. This allows you to focus more time and effort on higher-level mission tasks, such as optimizing payload performance or testing new services.
By applying modern industrial processes and concepts we develop standardized modular satellite buses that are more reliable and cost-effective to integrate than custom-built alternatives. Our M6P multi-purpose systems also meet the requirements of a wide range of applications including:
- Earth Observation (EO),
- Remote sensing,
- Commercial communication,
- Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications,
- Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) aviation traffic monitoring and control,
- Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) maritime traffic monitoring and control,
- Scientific and research missions, and
- Emergency communication services.
All critical systems onboard, including the flight computer, payload controller, electrical power system (EPS), and communication systems, utilize radiation-tolerant components. The hardware layout maximizes payload volume while ensuring robust power functionality, reliability, and precise thermal control for sensitive payloads, such as measurement and sensing instruments.
The bus also has a decentralized data system that enables fast data rates and an optional high-impulse propulsion unit can also be included, so that mission objectives and timelines can be extended or adjusted if required.
