About
The SXC12 platform is a universal, combinable set of onboard service systems and structural elements for a 12U CubeSat, launchable in standard production containers. The onboard system set is flexible and may include main/backup OBC, main/backup PSS, main/backup TT&C transceivers, main/backup batteries, an onboard network, a flywheel unit, a high-speed radio link transmitter, up to 2 star sensors and up to 6 solar sensors, a payload integration unit, structure, and other systems as needed. Designed for a circular working orbit up to LEO 600 km with an active operational period of not less than 1.5 years (up to 3). Separation via standard CubeSat 12U container. Includes gas propulsion system for orbital correction and supports precise geolocation binding of the payload axis.
