Flight proven across multiple mission applications for a range of customer requirements, this readily available solution has advanced error detection and correction. Featuring a SmartFusion 2 SoC including Cortex-M3 processor @ 50 MHz delivering 62.5 DMIPS, and enhanced hardware/ firmware recovery mechanisms, the KRYTEN- M3 delivers advanced precision performance for the most demanding nanosatellite missions.

Our reliable space data handling solution is safeguarded with autonomous single event latch-up protections, ADVANCED PRECISION PERFORMANCE delivering high performance computing with integrated cache and Non-Volatile MRAM Memory. All protected by SECDED and EDAC mechanism to guard against radiation effects.

The inclusion of 4 GB of SLC flash memory provides ample space for mission data storage. GPS is available on Kryten-M3- PLUS models.

KRYTEN-M3 is supplied with a BSP including bare metal drivers, comprehensive API reference documentation, a full user manual and thoroughly documented source code.

Our experience in the delivery of CubeSat missions for a wide range of applications means that our EPIC platforms have the versatility to meet the requirements of the vast majority of payloads.

The EPIC 1U CubeSat range proves that even the smallest satellites can deliver impressive performance. For most satellite payloads, trying to squeeze into a 1U is like trying to fit an elephant in the Apollo lunar module, but for many applications the limited volume is ideal. Selecting the EPIC 1U range for your mission means that you benefit from our flight proven avionics and enjoy the cost savings of a 1U launch. Small in size but massive in value, the AAC Clyde Space EPIC 1U offers the same quality design and build, flight proven performance, unrivalled operational up-time and excellent customer service as all our spacecraft products.

Our experience in the delivery of CubeSat missions for a wide range of applications means that our EPIC platforms have the versatility to meet the requirements of the vast majority of payloads.  

The EPIC 6U range is fast becoming one of our most popular CubeSat classes. For missions requiring perfomance, longevity and that bit more space in the trunk, our EPIC 6U class is just the job.  Boasting large deployable solar arrays and enhanced pointing, not to mention our flight proven avionics core, our EPIC 6U class is the ideal choice for both commercial and government missions.

Our experience in the delivery of CubeSat missions for a wide range of applications means that our EPIC platforms have the versatility to meet the requirements of the vast majority of payloads.

The EPIC 3U CubeSat range is our most popular spacecraft. With many AAC Clyde Space 3U CubeSats produced and operating on orbit, this range of spacecraft arguably offers the best value to orbit of any satellites. The combination of our commitment to quality design and build, flight proven performance, unrivalled operational up-time and excellent customer service means that our EPIC 3U range is the professional's choice for CubeSat missions that need to deliver.

Our experience in delivery of CubeSat missions for a wide range of applications means that our EPIC platforms have the versatility to meet the requirements of most payloads.

The big dog of our CubeSat range is the EPIC 12U. With up to 8U of available payload volume (or 12U of payload on our 16U option), and the ability to accomodate large arrays of deployable solar panels, this class of CubeSat offers increased performance whilst still boasting the same proven avionics core.

At AAC Clyde Space we specialise in providing advanced small spacecraft, mission services, and subsystems. We are the market leader in small satellite solutions and services for government, commercial, and educational organisations.

MEPS (Micro-Satellite Electric Propulsion System) is a three year programme started in 2013, jointly supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Israeli Space Agency (ISA) and aimed at the qualification of a propulsion system based on a low power, low cost Hall Effect Thruster (nominal power level 200W).

The system consists of a dual thruster/cathode subsystem, a power processing unit, propellant management assembly, feeding lines and a suitable Xe tank and
is conceived as a 'plug and play' system that can be easily installed on a number of small space platforms. It is intended to provide a prompt, effective response to the market needs, where small platforms can highly benefit from a low-cost, low-mass propulsion system. A suitable solution for drag compensation, orbit maintenance, end-of-life deorbiting and the exploitation of the lower layers of the LEO region, MEPS is going to pave the way to a new class of affordable and capable small space missions

RazakSAT is a Malaysian satellite carrying a high-resolution camera.

It was launched into low Earth orbit by a Falcon 1 rocket on July 14, 2009. It was placed into a near-equatorial orbit that presents many imaging opportunities for the equatorial region. It weighs over three times a much as TiungSAT-1 and carries a high resolution Earth observation camera. Developed in conjunction with Satrec Initiative, the satellite's low inclination orbit (9 degrees) brought it over Malaysia a dozen or more times per day. This was intended to provide greatly increased coverage of Malaysia, compared to most other Earth observation satellites.

TiungSAT is the first Malaysian microsatellite. The satellite is developed through the technology transfer and training programme between Astronautic Technology Sdn Bhd (ATSB) Malaysia and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, United Kingdom.

Tiung SAT-1 was launched aboard Dnepr rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan on 26 September 2000.

Microsat Systems Canada Inc. (MSCI) is a privately held Canadian corporation applying dynamics and control technology in the space market for reaction wheels, rate measurement units and complete microsatellites. Formerly the space division of Dynacon Inc., MSCI has been the premiere builder of microsatellites in Canada for over a decade.

MSCI is providing the design, development and delivery of cost-effective, adaptable Multi Mission Microsatellite Buses capable of hosting a wide variety of remote sensing, communications, scientific and military payloads. MSCI is active as well in systems engineering analysis, the development of sophisticated, cost-effective attitude control system solutions and their implementation into flight hardware and software.
