Italian company offers end-to-end solution for CubeSats and microsatellites that includes launch and deployment services, IOD/IOV missions, and a set of add-on services

The Technology developed is a plug-and-play platform for in-orbit demonstration and validation based on platform able to modify its own orientation, altitude, and local time of ascending node (LTAN) to quickly deploy CubeSats and microsatellites into precise and independent orbital slots, allowing customers to start their missions faster and in optimal operational conditions. The platform provides well defined mechanical, electrical, and data interfaces, access to host resources, attitude control, flexible pricing, and multiple launch options in LEO, SSO, and GEO. The innovative plug-and-play platform could be used for in-orbit demonstration and validation (eg.: biotechnology, life sciences, bio-medical industries, nanotechnology, aeronautics experiments), to collect data, to operate hardware components and subsystems to collect performance data and validate use case. Baseline services chart for precision Deployment: • Launch Procurement • Selection of appropriate deployer • Integration of satellites onboard ION Satellite Carrier • Ground transportation from our site to the launch site • Brokerage of insurance • Integration onboard the launch vehicle • Launch to target orbit • Precision Deployment and Fast Dispersion • Confirmation of release with visual evidence • Delivery of orbital parameters Technical specifications: •Multiple form factor support: a 64 1U volume to accommodate multiple combinations of 1U, 2U, 3U, 3U+, 4U, 6U, 6U+, 8U, 8UL, 12U, 12U+, 16U CubeSats, or microsatellites up to 160 kg, with industry record protrusion allowance. •Ability to perform orbital maneuvers: change of altitude and inclination, true anomaly phasing, RAAN shift. •Precise deployment: Each satellite is deployed independently, following a command from the ground, with personalized attitude, pointing, and impulse. •Fast dispersion: up to 85% faster constellations deployment, with wider spacecraft separation, faster signal acquisition, and a stable collision-free formation. •Guaranteed deployment: a triple fault-tolerant mechanism guarantees the release of all satellites that may not be released nominally before the end of the mission. This technology has been developed by an Italian SME,offering solutions based on proprietary technologies that allow the optimization of operations both in orbit and on the ground through last-mile delivery of satellites, orbital transportation, space logistics, and space waste management. The company is looking for industrial and RTD partners to start commercial agreements with technical assistance.
