Throughout a stay broadcast, Kongsberg NanoAvionics (“NanoAvionics”) introduced the total standardization of its nano- and microsatellite buses. This transfer goals to chop lead occasions to as little as 4 months for bus manufacturing, scale back prices, and improve reliability. The standardization permits faster and more cost effective mission launches. For missions with particular necessities, NanoAvionics continues to supply custom-made options.
NanoAvionics has additionally launched a brand new on-line configuration instrument, designed to streamline the ordering course of. This instrument gives clients with clear data on lead occasions, costs, and technical particulars, aligning with mission necessities.
Arnoldas Peciukevicius, director of product and mission improvement at NanoAvionics, commented, “The usual buses are a end result of a decade’s value of mission expertise and technological developments. Lowering complexity and obstacles to enter house at manufacturing and mission integration stage additional helps the expansion of the NewSpace sector, with the expectation to speed up it. This in flip permits startups and established companies alike to innovate and develop their space-based providers. It additionally helps different buyer segments resembling governmental and analysis establishments.”
The trade is now coming into NewSpace 3.0, emphasizing mission longevity, efficiency, reliability, and interoperability. This follows NewSpace 2.0, which noticed a surge in non-public capital funding and business launches surpassing governmental launches for the primary time. It additionally led to improvements in launch and satellite tv for pc know-how, new partnerships, and the rise of personal satellite tv for pc constellations.
NanoAvionics’s progress can also be attributed to the opening of its new MAIT (manufacturing, meeting, integration, and testing) facility in Vilnius, Lithuania, final yr. This facility has doubled the corporate’s satellite tv for pc manufacturing capability, additional decreasing lead occasions and positioning NanoAvionics to fulfill the rising demand for satellite tv for pc constellations and bigger satellites by business, civil, and governmental organizations.
Inside its standardized satellite tv for pc buses, NanoAvionics affords three configurations (gentle, mid, and max) for every kind issue, catering to various mission wants and purposes with out intensive customization.
“This productisation effort of our standardised satellite tv for pc buses marks a big leap ahead within the firm’s mission to streamline satellite tv for pc deployment and improve the accessibility of house know-how,” Peciukevicius added. “Along with our three configurations, our buses have a broad market enchantment, from Earth commentary to telecommunications and past. This displays NanoAvionics’ dedication to facilitating a wider adoption of house applied sciences. The buses additionally incorporate the newest in aerospace know-how, guaranteeing excessive efficiency, reliability, and excessive mission success charges.”
