Mission Area

Spacecraft Systems

A spacecraft has to point, think and survive on its own. We design the attitude control, avionics and flight software that keep your bus stable and your payload on target.

End-to-end imaging satellite mission architectureA ground station with a four-element X-band monopulse tracking array radiates computed sum and difference antenna patterns to a 3U CubeSat in low Earth orbit. The CubeSat radiates an X-band downlink pattern back to the ground and images the Earth through a sensor cone. A two-stage launch vehicle climbs an ascent trajectory to orbit above a photographic Earth limb.
