Delivering High-Fidelity Satellite Twins: Our 3U Cubesat EM for HILs testing
A brief on how a major aerospace prime is utilising our 3U CubeSat EM
A full-stack 3U CubeSat engineering model, recently delivered to an aerospace and defence prime. Every module is the same architecture and software stack we fly on our own missions.
It ships with our CMCube OBC, EPS, 2 × 50Wh battery packs, UHF and S-band radios with antennas, and a camera payload — a high-fidelity twin built for capturing imagery, running SSA pipelines, and stress-testing space cybersecurity including live RF-route penetration testing.
It's also a complete hardware-in-the-loop sandbox for:
Developing and debugging flight control software
Validating encryption and communication protocols
Simulating orbital power cycles and dynamic EPS programming
An upgraded configuration adds a high-throughput, FPGA-based OBC for heavy edge-computing workloads. If your team needs a representative EM to validate payloads, software, or security protocols, let's talk.
