About
The RapidCube-10 is Rapid Cubes’ flight-proven nanosatellite platform based on the TUBiX10 design licensed from TU Berlin — a platform with in-orbit heritage since February 2018 when four TUBiX10 units were launched as the S-NET mission demonstrating inter-satellite communication. A fifth TUBiX10 was launched as SALSAT in 2020.
The RapidCube-10 accommodates payloads up to 4–5 kg with 4.5 W average / 35 W peak power. It features S-band and UHF telemetry/telecommand links alongside an X-band high-speed downlink capable of up to 100 Mbps. Its failure-tolerant architecture and flight-proven heritage make it a reliable choice for demanding LEO missions.
