Our mid-range microsatellite bus uses a 15″ separation ring and accommodates payloads with a maximum footprint of 490 x 480 mm and a mass of up to 75 kg. Payload height is flexible as long as the total satellite height does not exceed 1300 mm.
MP42 is highly modular – its configurable subsystems and deployable solar panel configurations can meet customer’s precise mission performance, agility, and power demands.
Hardware and software of NanoAvionics satellite bus MP42, as well as mission operations infrastructure, are established on baseline architecture and mission-specific “building blocks” for flexible, time & cost-efficient integration, resulting in wide applicability, reliability, repeatability and manufacturability.
MP42 bus is highly versatile – their performance capabilities are optimized for remote sensing, high data throughput & complex communications missions, emergency communications, and fundamental research missions. All requiring minimal reconfiguration.
MP42 buses can include a propulsion system that enables the satellite to perform high-impulse maneuvers such as: orbital deployment, orbit maintenance, precision flight in formations, orbit synchronization, and atmospheric drag compensation. This results in an extended satellite orbital lifetime uncovering new opportunities for unique customer missions and significant savings on constellation maintenance costs.

Client name
Multiple clients - rideshareLaunch date
2022.04.01MP42 is NanoAvionics’ largest satellite built and launched so far, based on one of the first commercially available modular microsatellite buses in the industry. MP42 is a rideshare mission, and part of the company’s ongoing program. It’s hosting multiple payloads including OQ Technology’s “Tiger-3”, adding another satellite to its 5G IoT/M2M (machine-to-machine) communication constellation, and VeoWare’s RW500 fully integrated reaction wheel.
