Throughout a dwell 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, cut back prices, and improve reliability. The standardization permits faster and less expensive mission launches. For missions with particular necessities, NanoAvionics continues to supply personalized options.
NanoAvionics has additionally launched a brand new on-line configuration software, designed to streamline the ordering course of. This software offers prospects with clear info on lead occasions, costs, and technical particulars, aligning with mission necessities.
Arnoldas Peciukevicius, director of product and mission growth at NanoAvionics, commented, “The usual buses are a fruits of a decade’s price of mission expertise and technological developments. Lowering complexity and boundaries to enter area 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 companies. It additionally helps different buyer segments akin to governmental and analysis establishments.”
The business 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 industrial 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 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 lowering lead occasions and positioning NanoAvionics to satisfy the rising demand for satellite tv for pc constellations and bigger satellites by industrial, civil, and governmental organizations.
Inside its standardized satellite tv for pc buses, NanoAvionics provides three configurations (mild, mid, and max) for every type issue, catering to numerous mission wants and functions with out intensive customization.
“This productisation effort of our standardised satellite tv for pc buses marks a major leap ahead within the firm’s mission to streamline satellite tv for pc deployment and improve the accessibility of area 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 area applied sciences. The buses additionally incorporate the most recent in aerospace know-how, making certain excessive efficiency, reliability, and excessive mission success charges.”
