About
The AAC SpaceQuest Q7S is a command and data handling (C&DH) solution tailored for commercial satellite missions that require a reliable, qualified OBC without the cost and complexity of higher-end systems. It delivers the core functions of spacecraft management — command execution, telemetry collection, data storage, and onboard scheduling — in a compact, low-mass, low-power package.
Designed specifically for the commercial small satellite market, the Q7S balances capability with cost-effectiveness, making it an excellent choice for constellation builders and operators focused on per-unit economics. Despite its commercial focus, the Q7S meets space-qualification standards for LEO environments.
Its small size makes it easy to integrate into CubeSat and SmallSat platforms, and it interfaces naturally with other AAC SpaceQuest subsystems including the GNSS-701, MAG-3, TRX-U, and antenna products.
