Microsatellite Bus MP42
Get Access to NanoAvionics Product Catalog with Tech Specs
Microsatellites can offer extremely high levels of performance and reliability across various space applications. From high-resolution Earth Observation (EO) cameras to powerful space-based internet services, microsatellites have the potential to generate significant value for modern industries.
NanoAvionics’ proven, mid-range microsatellite bus, the MP42, uses a 15″ ESPA-class separation ring and can accommodate payloads with a maximum mass of 60 kg and a total footprint of 572(L) x 460(W) x 370(H)* mm. *Payload height is flexible, as long as the total satellite height does not exceed the launch vehicle’s allowable volume. The large payload envelope provides flexibility for deployable antennas, booms, and other structures.
NanoAvionics offers three standard MP42 microsatellite performance configurations – Light, Mid, and Max – providing options that best match customers’ payload, mission objectives, and budget.
The system’s mission operations infrastructure, hardware and software elements have all been built to act as mission-specific building blocks, based on a baseline architecture that has been optimized for high-performance missions. This saves time and resources during integration by providing simpler and more repeatable processes.
The platform is also provided loaded with sample mission code (which is easily customized, extended, or replaced) and pre-qualified for fast flight acceptance testing, subject to mission requirements.
The MP42 platform is a versatile system and has been optimized for high data throughput and complex communications missions and services. It is also suitable for research projects, emergency communications, and remote sensing services, and can be adapted to such applications with minimal reconfiguration.
