About
MP42D is the dedicated-payload variant of the MP42 microsatellite platform. The configuration optimises the bus volume and resources for a single primary instrument rather than the multi-payload rideshare-host role of the baseline MP42. Suitable for 200 kg-class Earth-observation, communications and technology-demonstration missions.
